I updated /etc/apt/sources.list and that didn’t make any difference for me. However, I downloaded xorg_7.7+19_armhf.deb and ran the following commands:
sudo dpkg -i xorg_7.7+19_armhf.deb sudo apt-get install xorg (This resulted in a number of errors) sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -f logout Maybe if I had just ran "sudo apt update” it would have worked. I may try that on another uSD. Anyway I have ssh -X working now. I have another problem but I’ll start a new thread for it.
