The release notes for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 ("sarge"), Intel 86
-- upgrades chapter says to read
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/README.Debian-upgrade.gz
before rebooting. I haven't found the information there to be
of much use, except to tell me that the entire X susbystem
bas been thouroghly churned and not to expect too much
fron doing the upgrade. Doing
apt-get install x-window-system
doesn't seem to help.
