That's a pity, because I just changed from a self-compiled XServer back to good old Debian packages, but as you can imagine, the old XServer won't accept my configuration and my video card. xserver-common doesn't contain any server.

Rene (sorry, no idea how to get the nifty ' atop the 'e'. :) -- I haven't got a clue what you mean. :) It isn't so obvious to me, nor likely obvious to anyone else, that the 3.3.6 X server is in the package labeled 4.0.1-11. :) Sometimes, it is the obvious things that need to be pointed out -- since it mightnot be obvious to anyone else. :) Chances are good you want the task-x-window-system package installed.
