Re: upgrade from xfree 3.3.6 to xfree 4.0
v11 has been performing adequately for me. I'm probably going to wait a
little while before updating.
Anyway, Spener,
Don't use dselect to remove the debs. Make a list of all X packages with
the correct version number (3.3.6 | 4.0.1), and then use dpkg from a shell
to do the removal. 'dpkg --purge --force-depends <list of package>' works
for me.
My beefs:
No hardware OpenGL support - not surprising; PCI hardware.
xterm resources not in the xterm package - copied from 3.3.6
and lower priority anyway.
My machine locks hard when stopping and restarting X. I'll try to
run a trace on a phase2 set at that point.
