For the record, this is not always true, and is somewhat exacerbated by the fact that (IIRC) Debian must stick with the last DFSG-compatible release of XFree86. I have (an admittedly bleeding edge) system with a PCIE card that XFree86 (at least the version in Sid) does not support in any way. I am an edge case.... for now. :) (Don't misinterpret me; I am *not* suggesting that x.org can or should be in Sarge..) At the time, I installed x.org from source; the post (and accompanying comments) below has some helpful advice about how to do this on Debian. http://incubator.vislab.usyd.edu.au/roller/page/Steve/20040909#installing_a_non_intrusive_x I haven't checked apt-get.org (in a few months, at least).. you might have some luck there.. > > -- Thomas Adam > > ===== > "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net > "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net > > "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish > you for all of them at once when you get better.
