Against the packaging system??? xfree is packaged very well, actually I
really like the dbs very much, I only do not understand it well enough to
use it for my own packages, but I clone some parts sometime. But this is OT.

Sounds neat, where did you get the server binaries and modules for m68k?
Would save me a lot of compilation time... even more OT

Just download the xfree source and build packages yourself... besides, the
libraries _are_ packaged, they are only not yet in testing.
You don't realize that my problems are with m68k. AFAIK there is no m68k
hacker in the xfree86 team, I did not hear from anybody who got x4.0 working
on m68k and it seems m68k support is still missing in some places.
But ok, I am squeezing everything but the server debs through the phone line
now. And _you_ take the complaints from the m68k users, when they are unable
to get this installed ;-)
I hope I hacked on the changlog ok, I did not remove the two files from
Binary:, only from Files:
