OK, I fiddled around endlessly and discovered that the x-window-system
and x-window-system-core packages do not automatically pull in the
4.2.0 version of xserver-xfree86, on my system. Probably an APT
configuration thing, like I said I'm new to Debian.
So I successfully got the new stuff by grabbing xserver-xfree86.
Good news -- seems to be working here, and, the bug that has been
annoying me the most is fixed! On my Trident CyberBlade-equipped
laptop, with 4.1.0-17 and prior, when I switched back to X from a
console, the screen would go all "melted" white (like it had the wrong
refresh rate). With 4.2.0-0pre1v1, it works great!
Thank you, XF86 developers & Debian maintainers!
