You need X 4.3 for ia64. Until it is uploaded to unstable, your best bet is to get it out of experimental. I have the following packages installed from X 4.3: apt-get -t experimental install lbxproxy libdps-dev libdps1 libice-dev \ libice6 libsm-dev libsm6 libx11-6 libx11-dev libxaw6 libxaw7 libxaw7-dev \ libxext-dev libxext6 libxft1 libxi-dev libxi6 libxmu-dev libxmu6 \ libxmuu-dev libxmuu1 libxp-dev libxp6 libxpm-dev libxpm4 libxrandr-dev \ libxrandr2 libxt-dev libxt6 libxtrap-dev libxtrap6 libxtst-dev \ libxtst6 libxv-dev libxv1 pm-dev proxymngr twm x-dev x-window-system x-window-system-core xbase-clients xdm xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi \ xfonts-base xfonts-scalable xfree86-common xfs xfwp xlibmesa-dri \ xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-gl-dev xlibmesa-glu xlibmesa-glu-dev xlibmesa3 \ xlibosmesa-dev xlibosmesa4 xlibs xlibs-data xlibs-dev xlibs-static-dev \ xlibs-static-pic xnest xprt xserver-common xserver-xfree86 xspecs xterm \ xutils xvfb You'll probably need to add the following line to your sources.list: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
