"Wait for XFree86 4.3 to get into testing. Run the APT upgrade normally." But this will take quite a while, since official Debian packages are still in a prerelease state, and probably isn't the answer you're looking for. :-) > Or can I just install the 4.3 binaries over the existing > installation and configure everything as written in the manual? You really really don't want to try to install X in /usr or /usr/X11R6; dpkg won't know about your manual update, and the next time the official packages update your files will be stomped on. What I'd recommend: look on xfree86.org for a binary tarball that just contains the X server and modules, which is probably all you really wanted anyways. Unpack it in /usr/local, repoint /etc/X11/X to /usr/local/bin/XFree86, configure it, and run. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
