I don't know the status of these packages but X 4.3 is already in experimental deb http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian/ ../project/experimental main version is 4.3.0-0pre1v3 To get dri working you may need to get the dri packages from cvs and compile the kernel module. I don't know you specific card, so don't know. afaik this is needed for ati, don't know the state of support for other cards. There are debian packages somwhere near deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-sid/ ./ try browsing to http://people.debian.org/~daenzer to find the exact match. I probably got the last part (dri-sid) wrong, since I got the mach64 version which is under dri-mach64-sid. You will also need in this case to get the sources for the drm kernel module as at list in 2.4.21 it was only for X 4.2 and not 4.3, don't know the status for 2.4.22 but I think the same. > That is probably your best bet.
