When i build XF4, i install it into /usr/X11R6.4, and patch it so that it uses /etc/X11/XF86Config.4 instead of /etc/X11/XF86Config.4. This as worked nicely to have both 3.3.6 and 4.x installed at the same time on my boxes. Sure after that i have to modify /etc/ld.so.conf so it looks into /usr/X11R6.4/lib and modify the path accordyingly. or use the appropriate shell variables to do the same stuff. Why don't use a similar trick with the debian package, at least during the phase where the xf4 debian package are still flagged _dangerous_ this way you can test it, and not jeopardize your debian XF3.x install ? Here is the (rather smallish) patch to do this. If you like i could provide a small shell script to switch between both server ? Friendly, Sven LUTHER
