is there any way to install xfree 4.3 on my Debian unstable box without switching to experimental?
Thanks for any explanation on how I could achieve that!
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.
I tried following your instructions to the letter, now X will not come up, had to re point to /user/X11R6/bin. What did you change in the XF86Config-4 file ???? I need to get 4.3 working to use my video card (NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440) as was told I could not use this card on anything older than 4.2.0. But my woody has 4.0.1.
