There are 4.3 debs at: deb http://capricorn.woot.net/~daniels/current/sid/$(ARCH) ./ deb ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/debian-misc/daniels/xfree86/current/sid/$(ARCH) ./ for both i386 and powerpc if you want to give them a bash; currently they're missing libXft1 (deliberate), but this will come back in the 4.2.99.4-1 debs that should be ready by tomorrow night. If you want to give them a bash to see if the issue's still present there, feel free. Cheers! :) d -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
