The instructions work but the packages will not install due to a dependency problem. If I understand correctly what's happening is: *. Part of the xorg core breaks *-video-6 *. *-video-all depends on (amounst others) the geode, nv and i740 drivers. *. goade, nv and i740 do not have backports drivers and (again, if I understand correctly) do not have packages waiting to be built on the buildds. The squeeze versions depend on *-video-6 thus meaning that there are unsatisfied dependencies. I think adding geode, nv and i740 to squeeze-backports will solve this problem.
