Mhhh... Previously, you claimed to be using debian testing. Debian

using current xorg with about 2 years old kernel?


this is my /et/apt/sources.list line...
deb http://debian.fastwebnet.it/debian/ etch main contrib

I only obtain kernel-source-2.6.8 install proposal...

This is quite certainly not from the above line. Probably you have
another line pointing to sarge or stable.

There was a rename of kernel-xxx to linux-xxx from sarge to etch.
Installing 'linux-source-2.6.17' should get you the current sources.

'linux-image-2.6.17-2-686' is what I have installed.

HTH,

NB: please reply to list.
