Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
So right now it is not necessary to install this package
(unless maybe you want to help fixing this problem).
However, you can install/upgrade all the client packages and install the xserver-fbdev package from 3.3.6. To make this server work with X4.0, you have to fix two things by-hand.
You need to make the new (old) xserver known. As root do:
cd /etc/X11
mv X X4 # backup the old X, move it back once xserver-xfree86 works
ln -s /usr/bin/X11/XF68_FBDev X # point X to the old xserver-fbdev
Next you need to move the XF86Config to a place where the new packages look
for it. As root do:
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/
This config file should be still left from your old 3.3.6 X11 installation.
If you don't have that one anymore, you might get it, ie from
xserver-common_3.3.6-11potato15_m68k.deb
(in potato-proposed-updates)
or from here.
