Just tried that, setting source.list to unstable, starting interactive aptitude, and trying to '+' various xorg-related packages. All of them seemed to run afoul of xserver_xorg-code conflicts with xserver-xorg-video (provided by lots of packages, including the xserver-xorg-video-fbdev 1:0.1.0.5-2 I'm currently using.) or the like. Telling it to update xserver-xorg-video-fbdev doesn't help. Telling it to update *every( installed package whose name contains the text "xerver-xorg" doesn't help either. By the way, installing a complete sid system a few months ago didn't help either. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
