I use emacs-21 from CVS quite happily. Here is the list of X stuff on my machine: ii xbase-clients 4.1.0-9 miscellaneous X clients ii xbooks 3.3.6-1 X Window System technical documentation in P ii xdm 4.1.0-9 X display manager ii xext 3.3.6-11potato extensions to X servers ii xf86setup 3.3.6-11potato X server configuration tools ii xfonts-100dpi 4.1.0-9 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 4.1.0-9 75 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-artwiz 1.4 Very small futuristic ASCII fonts for X ii xfonts-base 4.1.0-9 standard fonts for X ii xfonts-cyrilli 4.1.0-9 Cyrillic fonts for X ii xfonts-gimpers 1.3 X11 fonts created by Artwiz, TigerT, and Dan ii xfonts-pex 3.3.6-2 fonts for minimal PEX support in X ii xfonts-scalabl 4.1.0-9 scalable fonts for X ii xfonts-scalabl 4.0.3-3 non-free Type1 fonts from XFree86 ii xfree86-common 4.1.0-9 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure ii xfs 3.3.6-11potato X font server ii xfs-xtt 1.3.0.xf410-10 X-TrueType font server ii xlib6g 4.1.0-9 pseudopackage providing X libraries ii xlibmesa3 4.1.0-9 XFree86 version of Mesa 3D graphics library ii xlibs 4.1.0-9 X Window System client libraries ii xlibs-dev 4.1.0-9 X Window System client library development f ii xmh 3.3.6-11potato X interface to MH mail system ii xnest 3.3.6-11potato nested X server ii xproxy 3.3.6-11potato X proxy services ii xprt 3.3.6-11potato X print server ii xserver-common 4.1.0-9 files and utilities common to all X servers ii xserver-mach64 3.3.6-11potato X server for ATI Mach64-based graphics cards ii xserver-vga16 3.3.6-11potato X server for VGA graphics cards ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-9 the XFree86 X server ii xterm 3.3.6-11potato X terminal emulator ii xutils 4.1.0-14 X Window System utility programs ii xvfb 3.3.6-11potato virtual framebuffer X server ii xviddetect 0.3-4 XFree86 installation helper ii libxaw6 4.1.0-9 X Athena widget set library (version 6) ii libxaw7 4.1.0-9 X Athena widget set library There might be some other things but I don't think so. I'm fairly sure that emacs 21 can be built quite easily without development packages for X. Nic
