Re: debian2.2r4 and MatroxMillenniumG450
FYI, debian-release is not a list for helping users. Try debian-user
or debian-devel. Also, since almost all your problems relate to X11,
there's a Debian X11 mail list too, see
<URL:http://lists.debian.org/>. I'll answer anyhow.

The X configure has radically changed for the upcoming Woody release,
using something called dexconf. anXious is dead.

Dunno about this one. I think dexconf picks conservative defaults.

Sounds like something for the XFree86 folks more than us. The
upcoming Debian 3.0 release, btw, uses XFree86 4.1.x.

Already done, see above.
