Re: xserver-xfree86 not found on mirror

[Quenten Griffith <qgriffith@edm1.com>]

I am using this in my /etc/apt/source.list

deb ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/debian/ testing main
deb-src ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/debian/ testing main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main

and here is my output of the apt-cache search xfree

apt-cache search xserver-xfree86
ttf-xtt-wadalab-gothic - Free Japanese TrueType fonts (gothic)
ttf-xtt-watanabe-mincho - Free Japanese TrueType fonts (mincho)
xfree86-common - X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
xlibmesa3 - XFree86 version of Mesa 3D graphics library
xserver-common-v3 - files and utilities common to XFree86 3.x X servers
xserver-mach32 - X server for ATI Mach32-based graphics cards
xserver-s3 - X server for S3 chipset-based graphics cards
xserver-xfree86 - the XFree86 X server

So not sure why you don't see it maybe someone else with more knowledge 
then I can be of some help, maybe even try a apt-get install 
x-window-system x-window-system-core
