Yes, that would be a good idea. But beware there are other things defined in the fbdev block, and anyway, it should become a : #if (defined(FBDEV_server) && defined (__powerpc)) || defined (__sparc) or something such. Could you do it , and test the build on sparc ? I am away from my box now. Do you do a lot of X related work on sparc ? you should consider becoming an Xfree member then ... > > > I will write also to the Xfree list to see whåt is the common opinion on > > this > > stuff, and see to it that it is handled in a nice way.

Does anyone know if there will be a replacement X available for debian by the time potato ships ? Up to now, i just built a static server, and called it through /etc/X11/Xserver.
