Greetings. I would like to try installing X3 and see if it works better than X4 with my box. I have found this to be the case with Mandrake, and while X4 works under Debian, it's a bit slow.
Now, I attempted this once and managed to screw up everything. Not only did X3 not work, but I couldn't get X4 reinstalled & working either. Eventually after 2 months of playing around, I somehow got X4 back up. I don't even know exactly what I did. Needless to say, I dont want to do this again. So, to install X3 my question is, do I uninstall anything first? If so, which packages? Or, when I configure X3 will the system simply make the changes required to run X3 while still having X4 installed? I know that for X3 I need xserver-common-v3 and xserver-mach64. Are there others? Then I follow the instructions to configure as in secction 9.4.3.2 of the debian reference. Am I missing any important steps? Thanks much.
