Thanks for the help. Craige supplied the missing catch; xsrever with the DRI trunk.

Yeah I had done the above.
But I had not known about the above DRI branch of the xserver. This went on with apt-get fine and no probs.- add this line your sources.list: deb http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/debian/dri-trunk/ ./
- install xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk (and friends)
and I also used Craiges kernel config and compiled a deb package with that using dpkg-kpkg and rebooted.Grab my updated-since-my-previous-email XF86Config-4 and kernel config. AFAIK, my kernel config gives you everything, if not it's a good start
Yikes :-) X started up fine with Gnome and KDE working fine.
THANKS !
My intention now is to do a clean install again, documenting the process and this time not using dselect so I dont get Gnome or KDE. I will just put on enlightenment as a WM.
Things still to do are to get power management working and find out how to emulate three buttons with the physically challenged one-fingered Mac mouse :-)
Byes from Mike
