Hello Everyone, This is my first time posting onto this list. I don't know if this question is best directed to user-dpkg. Regardless, I will try asking here first.
My colleague and I have been installing Debian 2.2rx onto several computers built by my colleague and I. We prefer using G200 video cards but unfortunately Matrox insists on discontinuing their earlier products. We can no longer obtain G200 or G400 video cards and are forced to purchase other cards not supported by the X in Debian 2.2r3. Therefore, I am considering the installing XFree864.1.x on potato but I don't want to break apt-get or dselect. We have tried pointing apt-get to the testing packages, but then We end up upgrading other packages as well. I have also installed Debian without X and then I downloaded XFree 4.1.0 tarballs and installed X that way. However, apt-get and dselect no long know about XFree86. Is there any way, I can keep potato and just update the XFree to 4.1.0 from the testing packages. I still want dselect and apt-get to be aware of the packages and be in sync. Your assistance will be greately appreciated.
