I'm using Debian XFree86 3.3 indeed, but when running Mnemonic (pre-alpha-release), I get X-io errors. These are generated by GTK (the toolkit we're using for the graphics), and *seem* to have their origin in the use of non-thread-safe libraries. : > Most likely, you want to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH-hack doesn't seem to work. : : The best way probably just is to add `~remco/src/Xlib-threadsafe' in : /etc/ld.so.conf. I just tried it, and indeed, it (Mnemonic) runs fine (that is, no X-io errors).
