Does anyone know whether AcceleratedX 1.3 works well over XFree86 3.2 ?

That's because AcceleratedX does *NOT* provide the X libraries.

Go ahead and install the new XFree86 3.2, including the VGA16 server, then
reinstall AcceleratedX.

WARNING: This can break your system!
WARNING: Be sure that's AcceleratedX really provides anything
WARNING: that is provides by xlib6
WARNING: to see which files are provide by xlib6 either
WARNING: run dpkg -L xlib6
WARNING: or greg xlib6 Contents | more
WARNING: You can find the Contents file on all Debian ftp sites

Make on your on local-dependencies...
First, create a directory named /local-deps_1.0
in this directory create a directory named DEBIAN
in this last one create a file named control who looks like this:
- -- cut here ---
Package: local-deps
Priority: optional
Section: local
Installed-Size: 0
Maintainer: Your Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1.0
Provides: xlib6, elf-x11r6lib, xlib, xlibraries
Description: Local Dependencies
 xlib provides by my AcceleratedX.

- --- end of cute ---
return to ANYPATH and run
'dpkg-deb --build local-deps_1.0' # No trailing slash after it!
Then, if everything is correct, installed it with
'dpkg -i local-deps_1.0.deb'

The only thing I can't do with that, is about version numbering dependancies.
If someone can give some hints... about it.

You can do you're own package too but that's another story... :)
Bye

How to override xlib6 dependencies?

[gobbel-no . junk . mail]

[apologies if this is a repeat, I'm having a little trouble with the spam 
filter]

I use AcceleratedX (the only accelerated server for my graphics card), so I
don't want to install XFree86, but I haven't been able to convince dselect
that I already have a package which provides xlib6.  I have a local package
that does nothing but provide lesstif, xlib, xlib6, etc., but dpkg still
refuses to install xanim, quake, and a host of other programs.  Does anyone
know how to get around this?

There really should be a simple way to do this sort of thing, it must happen
quite a lot.
