I used to have that problem as well. After doing an upgrade of the X Windows stuff it stopped happening. If I remember correctly, the X stuff for Slink can be gotten by adding the line: deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent/ xfree-update main to your /etc/apt/sources.conf Once that's been added you should be able to get the newer X packages using whatever method you usually use to do such things. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
