> There's 1:6.14.2-1~bpo60+1 (and a newer X stack) in squeeze-backports if > you want to try something. Thanks - I interpolate that this newer X stack exists in a more recent release of Debian. The given machine's /etc/issue reports Debian 6.0; which I see is squeeze, with wheezy in testing. I take it an upgrade to wheezy should be sufficient (and probably more robust than mixing versions ...), Eddy.
