Phill,
All debian packages come with documentation. If you look in /usr/doc/X11
you will find the documentation relevant to the package you have installed.

Alternatively, there are some new debian XFree3.2 packages available
from ftp.debian.org in the 'unstable' directory. If you choose to use
these you should be prepared to handle small problems, the unstable
directory will become debian 1.2 soon enough.

regards
Terry
