I meant the latter. It really isn't as scary as it apparently sounds. $ sudo apt-get install -t unstable mesa-swx11-source $ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-core $ sudo apt-get install fakeroot $ apt-get source xserver-xorg-core $ cd xorg-server-1.0.2/ $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-8_amd64.deb It worked for me. Let us know the results if you decide to try it. It probably isn't necessary to build all 6 binary packages from xorg-server, but I don't know how to do that easily.

You can always reinstall the package from testing if you tire of GLX :) Frederik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
