Re: How to find version of XFree in Sarge?

[Jack Dodds <brmdamon@aci.on.ca>]

Thanks for the reply, Karsten, but I already checked that link, followed 
it to:

http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/

and here is what I found for the nv driver:

nvidia-glx-src 1.0.3123-4 [contrib]
    NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver
nvidia-kernel-src 1.0.3123-3 [contrib]
    NVIDIA binary kernel module

Unfortunately, "4.x" doesn't tell me what I need to know!

Is there some meaning to the "1.0.3123" number? Is this a Debian number, 
or and XFree86 number?

I hope you can shed some light on this.

Thanks
