XFree86 4.3 apt source

Homey_v · 07-29-2003, 06:01 PM

I was wondering if anyone could give me a valid source for apt that has Xfree86 4.3. I have been hunting around on my own, but I cant seem to get any that I found to work. Normally I wouldnt bother upgrading until it came on the standard Debian Servers, but I am trying to get my Radeon 9500 Pro to work and I think it will be much easier with XFree86 4.3.

Thank you.

Typo's are my nemesis

There probably isn't one there, but you should have a look at

http://www.apt-get.org/

for listings of places with useful apt repositories.

I used this one:
deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/p.../xfree86/i386/ ./

then use this command:
apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xfree-common -t 4.3
(without the "-t 4.3" - or a simple "-t" - it doesn´t work!)
