Thanks to all who responded. I took [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s suggestion and changed the line in sources.list so I could get X 4.2 from the testing branch. Finally X works on my ATI card. So this leads to another question: A data processing system I'm developing is in Perl and w/ Perl 5.6.1, there is a problem in some date conversions I do (I convert them to epoch seconds, etc.), and when I try to convert numbers back to years, I get a "+" in front of some numbers and not others. This is fixed in Perl 5.8. When thinking about this, I wonder: Is there a way to easily specify and add versions later than in stable for only specific packages? In other words, is there some way I can do an apt-get and specify Perl 5.8 (assuming it's already packaged) without having to move to the testing or unstable branch? Hal P.S. Once I'm sure I have all the things I need working, I will post a list of the problems I've had (I've listed most of them earlier) and the solutions. Since this was such a fsking fun research hunt for me, I think that would make it easier for someone else in the future. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
