Yes, but XF4.2 beta packages are working very well on a woody, i just installed those on my friend's computer. I didn't had any problem. The peoblem is XF4.2 is not in woody, which give the reputation to have obsolete software... but in facts, XF4.1 is now multi-arch, and doesn't have the PCI bugs found in XF4.2 for example, some friends who have multiple video cards have problems with XF4.2 because of this bug. After reading the paper from Branden explaining why XF4.2 was not going to be in Woody, i knew why i had chosen debian : I have something right which works good, even if i don't have the newest release.

What problems do you really have ? I'm running G2D from experimental (upgraded manualy every night) on my debian unstable, with XF4.1, and so on. I don't seem to have any problems with fonts and those kinds of things. But maybe i'm wrong and didn't noticed them :) Julien
