| Thumbs up, Roman.
UPDATE:
I'm now running X.org 6.8.2 from the above named site, upgrade went
flawlessly. Started out downloading some individual packages and then
added the aforementioned lines to sources.list, considering I#m on a
single channel ISDN line (64 kbps) it took quite some time. So simply
said either you're missing something or I'm just one lucky bastard.
