I have installed Xfree 4.0.2 by downloading and dpkg-ing the following .debs, from The Pool:
libfreetype6_2.0.1-1.deb xserver-common_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xbase-clients_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xserver-xfree86_4.0.2-1_i386.deb xfree86-common_4.0.2-1_all.deb xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb no problem: "XFree86" runs and shows me a gray screen w/ pointer, I can start enlightenment over it, etc... BUT xinit -verbose (resp startx -verbose) show they still call X 3.3.6 !! Who of course is very unhappy, and so are gdm, xdm, etc... What I did was a symlink from /usr/bin/X11R6/X to XFree86 and now all works fine (startx, gdm, etc), but I was wondering what I did wrong to get such a bizarre behavior of X. I thought the install would have taken care of that! BTW the patch for Nvidia drivers and kernel 2.4.0 is out: http://www.linuxgames.com/news/followupgen.php3?news_id=3656 I can now go to bed and feel happy to have X working, with the accelerated driver :-) Good Night to you all Romain
