No. Debian only includes software for which source is available; the
XFree86 betas are binary only releases.

If you are only interested in the acceleration then you should be able
to install the appropriate XFree86-3.2A server binary either on top of
your current binary or in /usr/local/bin.  If you install it in
/usr/local/bin then remember to change the first line of
/etc/X11/Xserver to point to the correct place.

Yes, this works fine, despite the warning in the release notes to install
the entire new release. The new S3 server also fixes a S3-968 bug that
showed up in xfig where text display became corrupt.

I've heard that the acceleration is worth it. Particularly on my Tecra.

So are the .deb's available for 3.2A?
