It turns out that unstable uses the 3.3.6 xservers(?) See http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=xserver&searchon=names&subword=1&version=unstable&release=all to see what I am talking about > Do this: > > dpkg -l xfree* > > +++-==============-==============-============================================ > ii xfree86-common 4.1.0-8 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure This is what I have.

Anyway, try doing "startx 2> logfile" and take a look at the first line. Betcha your surprised if you were expecting 4.something. So, does anyone know a way to /actually/ get XFree 4 out of the apt system? -Peter
