I've got a potato/woody pinned hybrid, and my main reluctance to just
dist-upgrade is related to this:
I appear to have both Xfree 3 and 4 (see apt-cache output below; I
didn't purposefully do this, parts of X4 came along with libc6-dev, I
think. BTW thanks to those who convinced me that apt would not lead me
astray in a hydrid system. deb packaging rocks once again).
I used a patched Mach64 server on my Dell I7K laptop (ATI Rage), so what
I'd like to do is configure and try X4 without trashing X3, or at least
know how to get back, so
-how do i tell if I have all parts of X4 (I thought this was x-window-system)
-how would i get back if it doesn't work? restore the
old /etc/X11/XF86Config and what else??
-once X4 works can i just purge task-x-window-system to wipe X3?
Thanks in advance.
