I don't know if you'll want to or not, but the Progeny archive/source tree
had X-4 something.
That is where I got mine from, but only on my Progeny laptop. With Progeny
shutting down
the Linux Distro, I don't know if you can still get it.

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

Yeah, except that I figured "hey, if I just don't do purge, I can keep
using my
config file" then I did it and my XF86Conf was overwritten by a
non-working one.
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?
