I downloaded the XFree86 4.1.0 installation packages provided at: http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/xf410_potato/i386/ and burned them to CD.(My Winmodem doesn't work in Linux; I have a new modem arriving soon) I ran apt-cdrom and added that CD to the sources, then ran apt-get dist-upgrade x-window-system. The installer added the new files. When it was finished, I ran apt-get dist-upgrade again to see if I would get any error messages, and it said that the following packages had been "kept back," but gave no reason for it:
twm xbase-clients xdm xmh xnest xserver-common xterm I tried apt-get dist-upgrade --ignore-hold but I got the same result. (Also, I had killed all X-related processes before running apt-get dist-upgrade each time) X runs fine, but I'm not sure the 4.1.0 installation was complete because I downloaded it so X could support my Radeon card, but neither XF86Setup nor xf86config have entries for the Radeon card or chipset. Is my installation incomplete, or does something different have to be done to get the Radeon card to function under Linux? Thanks, Jason Machacek
