You probably don't want a full XFree86 4.3 install, just the X server for hardware support. On my laptop, I downloaded the Xxserv.tgz and Xmod.tgz binary tarballs from xfree86.org, unpacked them in /usr/local, repointed /etc/X11/X at /usr/local/bin/XFree86, and edited the XF86Config file appropriately. It looks like I still have the Debian xserver-xfree86 package installed, but I don't really use it. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
