Re: Was: X.org on nvidia?

[Jason Edson <jedson@oceighty.net>]

This is from dpkg on freenode in #debian:

" xorg is an alternative X implementation (fork of XFree86 4.4RC2) from 
X.Org, current release is X11R6.8. It won't be packaged for Debian until 
after Sarge release. See 
http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/trunk/debian/local/FAQ.xhtml#debianplans 
for more information. Ask me about 'get xorg' for unofficial xorg debs"
