Ok, here's where I get confused. I have plenty of questions for everyone so please
bear with me. I do have X3.3.6 running... apparently. I had thought
that a dist-upgrade to woody would install X4 but it would seem it did not. 
The dist-upgrade did create an X4 XF86Config
in /etc/X11 which is why I couldn't get X running after the upgrade. 
Now for the confusing part: 
I _did_ install xserver-xfree86 using apt-get install xserver-xfree86 and it installed
fine but X3.3.6 is still what gets loaded when I run startx. Very strange. 
I don't really have a preference as to whether I have X3.3.6 or X4 installed as 
long as it works.  ;-)  so, how do I get one fully installed and the other 
fully removed and why didn't dist-upgrade take care of this?
Now, since I apparently do have X3.3.6 running, should I remove xserver-xfree86?
Perhaps that is what's keeping my XF86Setup from working? Or should I remove the 
X3.3.6 packages and get X4 working (and thus put back the X4 XF86Config)?

Do these packages depend on X3.3.6 or X4?

thanks!
