No, don't try to do that; XFree86 in woody depends on too much other stuff, so you might as well just upgrade to woody if you were going to install those packages. There are *unofficial* XFree86 4.0.2 packages for potato instead: see <URL:http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/xf402_potato/>. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
