Ok, just making sure :-) I wasn't sure if the task- package had been updated with the new dependencies yet. > The errors are unresolved symbols from module > /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a Ok, is it showing that GLcoreModuleData is unresolved? If so, it's related to Edgar's problem (or is the same problem). I just ftp'ed the precompiled modules tarball from xfree86.org and noticed only one real difference: the .mdebug section is missing from the Debian package's GLcoremodule.o (which is in the libGLcore.a ar archive). I'm wondering if the Xserver really uses the debug section. If so, then we'll need to not strip at least the modules. Right now, I'm wishing that I had kept a copy of the compiled source like I wanted to (needed the disc space more, though). At any rate, try downloading the Xmod.tgz from: ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.1/binaries/Linux-alpha-glibc21/ and replace the libGLcore.a in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions with the one from Xmod.tgz (make a backup copy of the debian one first so you don't have to reinstall that package just to get the old file back). I'm currently waiting on my laptop (Pentium) to finish a massive apt-get run and will see if the i386's module also has similar contents in the .data section. Please let me know if you try the above and if it worked...if so, I'm actually expecting a new X package to be uploaded soon, so I can try recompiling it then (or, if not, I'll just do a recompile of the existing).
