Ok people, I asked this list the question, but I kept searching, and I
found a "weak" answer. I read that xorg from ubuntu works on sid, so
followinf the instructions, I started, and sure enough I ran into problems.
I installed lsb-base_2.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb to resolve a dependency,
Description says it's Linux Standard Base 1.3 initscript functions. I
have no idea, but moving forward
I created a folder /xorg and in it put:
libfs6_6.8.2-10-powerpc.deb
libgksuui1.0-0_1.0.3-2ubuntu2_powerpc.deb
libx11-6_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
libxau6_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
libxdmcp6_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
libxxf86vm1_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
xlibmesa-dri_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
xlibmesa-gl_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
xlibmesa-glu_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
xorg-common_6.8.2-10_all.deb
xserver-common_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
xserver-xorg_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
xutils_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
x-window-system-core_6.8.2-10_powerpc.deb
and from within this directory I ran dpkg --force-conflicts -i *.deb, (
this after a regular dpkg -i refused to install because of
xfree86-common, and xbase, and configure problems).
then ran dpkg -i *.deb in the same directory, but this time the only
problem I ran into was with xutils. I get xutils conflicts with
xbase-clients. I copied XF86Config-4 to xorg.conf (which is the reverse
of what I did coming to debian from ubuntu) and everything seems to work
fine.
So can somebody recommend a solution to my xbase and xutils problem? I
haven't looked too much into what is still installed as far as xfree,
but I had a bunch of -dev packages, so will those need to be recompiled?
