Dear colleagues, I have a computer that its videocard seems to require XFree86 4.01. I use Potato. I searched for stuff available, and when I decided to use the binary packages, while looking for info related to Debian with XF 4.01, I found a letter in XF86 page mailing lists by Branden Robinson (the maintainer of the XFree86 debianized packages) that said the following:
"Debian users may prefer to try my preliminary XFree86 4.0.1 .debs instead of installing from the XFree86 tarballs." This is very nice, but in the X Strike Force page, maintained by him, I read "Phase 2 .debs of XFree86 4.0 are now available. These are retrievable with apt, and should upgrade smoothly from version 3.3.6 of XFree86, *but please note that they are for testing, not general-purpose use,* " Branden continues: "and the library packages should definitely should not be used to compile packages for upload to Debian." Well, I am newbie. What do I do? I won't upload anything to Debian, but I consider I'll give Xfree86 a "general-purpose use". I'd like to know if this is a decent question. Some days before I sent here a question that actually was very stupid, because the answer was in the docs (thanks to all repliers!). I take very seriously the large amount of questions posted here and I'd like to reduce my trash sent at the minimum.
