look at http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~spotter/x/ if people could mirror it, it be nice :) remember, these are quick and dirty debs. They are not production quality at all, I've been using them on my Thinkpad T21 w/o much issue, but don't yell if they break on you. I believe you should be able to downgrade to 4.1.0-16 but I haven't tested that (except the xlibs stuff) I recommend you use Branden's xlibs, as there seems to be a locale problem with these xlibs that causes acroread to crash, applications to print out warnings each time (at least in gnome) and Evolution to have font issues. I downgraded (i.e. dpkg -i xlibs_*.deb xlibs-dev_*.deb) to the the 4.1.0-16 debs and everything seems to work fine. XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 18 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/) In building these I realize how much work Branden has put into them. People should give him a break. :) kudos for the great job he has done!. shaya -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
