Are you asking the debian maintainer to provide a *stable* XF86Config setup file for *every* X server? There's no way he/she could do that. However, there's one area the debian package can improve. The current preinst and postinst scripts appear to be doing the following things: 1) stop xdm 2) unpack and setup the packages 3) restart xdm Step 3) obviously assumes the old XF86Config works for the new X version, which is not always the case. Therefore, instead of restarting xdm, the postinst should echo a message that warns the user the old configuration may not work and ask them to read the docs and reconfigure X. BTW, I've filed a bug report to www.xfree86.org against the Cirrus driver. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
