Hi, Sorry to hear problems continue. The version I built was xfree86_3.3.2.2-4.dsc debian 2.0 CD ( from linux central) The ftp site is now 2.0r2 and X is 3.3.2.3-1 I think . The changelog does say that xfree86 was updated with an upstream patch. Maybe there's a new problem. :( Don't know what else to say.
