Antony, I believe that the deb source you indicate is in fact a backport (XFree86 4.3 compiled to run on Woody). Either way, good luck. I myself am going to try the firegl drivers from ATI (discussed in a couple of other threads on the list) until 4.3 makes it into unstable. -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
