I've upgraded to the XFree86 4.0.3 potato version with the following lines in my sources.list:
# Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 - XFree86 Version 4.0.3 deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/all/ deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf403_potato/i386/ apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade brought me to a running X 4.0.3 Server with a resolution of 1600x1200. It's the only resolution I've got running so far, but on the UXGA+ TFT it's really cool. For the configuration I started with the XF86Config from the Dell support web site. It's a RPM file but you can convert it to a tgz file with alien (alien --to-tgz atimp316.rpm) and copy the configuration file to the /etc/X11 directory (as XF86Config-4). Up to now I had no problems with the X 4.0.3 Server (there were some smaller problems with the X 4.0.2 when switching between console mode and X - but it seems to be solved with X 4.0.3). There is only a minor glitch: when running the XServer with DRI support for hardware accelaration the last few lines on the screen start to flicker (maybe some problems during the refresh). If you would like to get the config file from Dell or my configuration file as a starting point for your configuration, just send me a mail and I will send you the files. Bye Andreas
