Please do *not* start new threads by replying to other unrelated threads. The main package for XFree 4.x is xserver-xfree86. The main package for XFree 3.3.6 is xserver-common-v3. To get rid of XFree v4, the first thing I'd do is make a list of all of the currently installed packages, then # apt-get -u remove xserver-xfree86 # apt-get -u install xserver-common-v3 Remember: if the GUI falls to pieces, you can always remove all the GUI packages and get down to a bare console system, and then re-install everything. As long as you do not "--purge" when removing packages, they will remain on your hard disk, and you'll re-install from them. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | Regarding war zones: "There's nothing sacrosanct about a | | hotel with a bunch of journalists in it." | | Marine Lt.
