I believe that XonX doesn't do a 4.3 version, but the official XFree86 version (or Fink's repackaging of it) is what you'd want. The upgrade is for 4.2.x, so you don't need that if you want to run 4.3.0 (the XonX website looks a bit out of date).
You'll need to turn on unstable, then install the "xfree86" package (for 4.3 there are no "=base" and "-rootless" packages anymore). If you are currently using Fink's xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless, then you can do this automatically by installing the "xfree86-upgrade" package, and running "update-xfree86" from the command line. If you are using system-xfree86 and some other XFree86 distribution, it's a bit more cumbersome. Follow the instructions in the FAQ, section 5.2: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-packages.php#cant-install-xfree For step 2 of those instructions, since you're running Fink Commander, you can use Source-> Force Remove on system-xfree86 And in step 4, install "xfree86" instead of "xfree86-base" and "xfree8=rootless". Also, don't worry about step 5: it's out of date now. Alexander K.

So, using commanders unstable tree, I can undate my current 1.1 with the XonX 4.3? Do I need to upgrade to 4.2 and 4.2.1 (as specified in the XonX instructions)?
