Re: [jdfool@Club-internet.fr: Upgrading to Xfree 4.01]
Emmanuel,
Please do NOT bug Branden with mails about the X packages. Send questions
to the mailing list.
Did you try upgrading with the XFree86 4.0.1 packages from woody? These
will definitely pose problems on a potato system. Try adding the following
lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then upgrade your X:
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/i386/
deb http://people.debian.org/%7Ecpbotha/ xf401_potato/all/
These are Branden's 4.0.1 packages that have been rebuilt on a potato
system. They install with little or no problems on my potato boxen.
