Why are you building X? Which X? And how? My general recommendation, if you need XFree86 4.3 for hardware support, is to download the binary .tar.gz files for the X server only from xfree86.org, and unpack them somewhere like /usr/local where the Debian package management system won't step on them. Configure this X and set the /etc/X11/X symlink to point to /usr/local/bin/XFree86. IIRC, the two tarballs you want are Xxserv.tgz and Xmod.tgz. If you don't want to do that, there are several backports of XFree86 4.3 out there to your favorite (stable-or-newer) Debian distribution; see http://www.apt-get.org/ for details. > #BEGIN STDERR > lnx_io.c: In function `KDKBDREP_ioctl_ok': > lnx_io.c:90: error: structure has no member named `rate' > lnx_io.c:98: error: structure has no member named `rate' > lnx_io.c:100: error: structure has no member named `rate' > lnx_io.c:101: error: structure has no member named `rate' > lnx_io.c:102: error: structure has no member named `rate' ...but if you really did want to track this down, look at the referenced line number, find the type of the structure that's being referenced, and figure out where that structure comes from. If it randomly started losing on unstable in the past week, it's possible that the source is directly depending on a <linux/something.h> header, but those headers changed from a 2.4.mumble kernel to a 2.6.0.mumble kernel recently. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
