I just went to the ubuntu website too see what it actually is. I don'tthink so. At one point about one and a half year ago I installed a debian XFree86 4.3.0 backport because I needed the new Radeon drivers for my
laptop, but I don't have the package source any more. I am pretty sure that it was from a debian.org server. But your question indicates that there might be something very wrong with the package dependencies on my machine only, perhaps due to a "pollution" from some temporarily used package source. So I am going to deinstall the whole gnome/X environment, reinstall with a clean apt/sourcelist and see what happens. I'll come back in a few hours and report the results... -- peter koellner <peter@asgalon.net>
