Looking at the packages at Debian.org, I see that xserver-common and
xserver-xfree8 for stable are 4.1.0-16 and for testing are 4.1.0.-17.
Before I mess up things further, I'd like to ask: Can I simply apt-get
remove xserver-common and xserver-xfree8, change my sources list back to
stable, and then apt-get install the xservers's? Will this work? And
what will it mean for all of the other packages on my system that are
now 'testing' yet my sources list will say 'stable'?
Thanks, Kevin
