It means you get a contemporary version of XFree compiled to run on woody. You need to add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list" the location of this backported package. They can usually be found at http://backports.org/ or http://www.apt-get.org. echo "deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ woody xfree86" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update && apt-get upgrade That should do it (if that is indeed the backport you want. I don't know: this is an example). Mind you, you'd still be working with the Xfree 'nv' driver. I don't know if having the NVIDIA driver is all important to you or not. You might try installing the binary from NVIDIA after this, but I have no idea if that will work or not. good luck, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
