IANADD, but I'd say "no". Debian officially went into a "no new versions of things" freeze a month or two back, and XF86-3.3.6 to 4.0 is a major enough change that I'd be hesitant about allowing it in this late in the release cycle. (That, and read the tagline on http://www.xfree86.org/; even though 4.0 is out now, 3.3.6 is still the official stable release of X, which is what you'd want in the stable released version of Debian.)

I have just the server from 3.9.18 installed on my machine, though, and it seems to work well enough. <shrug> It's possible that, this not being a "snapshot" release, binaries might appear on ftp.xfree86.org. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
