The other machine is the problem machine so I can't cut and paste quickly. The problem occurs when startx is run it fails to resolve some issues with the GL libs. I just upgrade from 4.2.1-5 which was working perfectly fine.

Your bug report was far too vague for me to be able to do anything about
it; in fact initially I didn't even get it because it was filed against
a nonexistent Debian package.
"Xfree 4.2.1 + Libs" is not the name of a Debian package.
I suggest getting some assistance from the Debian community before
attempting to re-file.
The primary Debian users' support forum is the debian-user mailing list. Y=
ou
can learn more about this list at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
If you have already tried that mailing list, and/or your machine does *NOT*
use an Intel-x86 compatible CPU (such as a Pentium or AMD Athlon chip), you
may also want to peruse one of Debian's architecture-specific mailing
lists:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-m68k/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/
http://lists.debian.org/debian-superh/
Before sending a message to one of the mailing lists, it's wise to try
using the search interface; in many cases, your problem has been
experienced before by other people, and a solution, workaround, or
explanation may already be available!
http://lists.debian.org/search.html
If the search engine turns up nothing, you should know whether or not
you're subscribed to a mailing list before sending a message to it. If you
are not subscribed, make *certain* that you ask for private copies of
replies to your message. Debian's standard practice is to reply only to
mailing lists (this cuts down on Internet traffic and annoying bounce
messages). If you want people to deviate from this standard practice you
should ask them to do so. (Advanced mail users should set a
Mail-Followup-To header that includes both the list address and their own
address.)
Finally, if you have found a problem in Debian's XFree86 packages (and
especially if Debian experts on one or more of the above mailing lists
agree), you should file a bug report with the Debian Bug Tracking System.
One of the best ways to do this is with the "reportbug" package and command
of the same name. One way to install reportbug is with "apt-get"; for
example:
$ apt-get install reportbug
The "reportbug" command has a few different modes that cater to different
levels of user expertise. If this message has contained a lot of jargon
that is unfamiliar to you, you likely want to use reportbug's "novice"
mode; here's one way to do that.
$ reportbug --mode=3Dnovice
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem,
or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
>
If you're more sophisticated, or if you are not using the released version
of Debian ("stable"), but instead Debian "testing" or "unstable", you
should use reportbug's standard mode.
$ reportbug
Please enter the name of the package in which you have found a problem,
or type 'other' to report a more general problem.
>
The reportbug command is extensively documented in its usage message and
manual page. Commands to view these pieces of documentation are:
$ reportbug --help | more
$ man reportbug
(The output of the above commands has been omitted from this message.)
Please do *not* send private messages to Debian developers (including me)
asking for help; Debian developers are volunteers, and often busy ones.
Additionally, you're more likely to get a rapid reply if you mail one of
the support lists enumerated above, because that way many people can see
your message instead of just one.
Thanks for using the Debian system!
