Re: [kabi@informatics.muni.cz: xserver-svga]
Zdenek, Branden says he has turned the old drivers on again. Try
updating again.
As for xbooks, if it is what I think it is -- books about X -- then
those can be downloaded from xfree86.org, at least. In the past they
were the third of the three source archives. I do not know about things
now. Sorry.
BTW -- the proper forum for messages of this nature is probably
debian-user.
