Does anyone know where I can get the latest XFree86 3.2 package for
Debian?? I saw someone mentioned here a short time ago. I couldn't
find it in Debian's ftp site (www.debian.org/FTP). I need it to get my

Thanks a lot

The workaround I have been using is to start up windows95 and set the
clock and date there. Then it remembers. I guess that DOS and windows 3
has equivalent options.
But I would also like to know how to do it from within linux.

Hi all,
Can I use same XFConfig script in x-3.2 that I used in x-3.1??
If any, what do I need to change/add? If you want to see my script, just
ask.
The reason I ask this is I have none standard system and it took me a
while to make everything work.:) So I would rather just use same script
