You'll want to read this first ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/Common/Install
Then you'll need to download this and run it. ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/Common/Xinstall.sh The above will tell you which binary packages to download from here. ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/ Your other option is to go here and read this http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/README.html You can get only to 4.3 from Debian and that's in Sid. Staying within the confines of your distribution will be easier than downloading the files from XFree86 directly. The choice is up to you. (Take the red pill.) :) HTH, Cynthia P.S. You may want to save your config files for XFree86 and you window manager. Also the startx script is sometimes modified and by downloading the files directly from Xfree86 you may lose distro specific changes to this file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Beau Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 7:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [XFree86] help with debian on compaq On Mon, 17 May 2004, Cynthia Grossen wrote: > You should upgrade to version 4.4.
