i prefer xfce4.8 over 4.6 and thats only in testing atm, unless it is pinned

if you modify sources.list to include backports, I think, you can get stuff from testing or unstable. You can also directly download the .deb and install with dpkg.

4.8 is in testing, backports are only for stable. you would modify the source.list & preferences to pin testing/unstable/experimental

aside from that I was wondering if you ran into any issues? whats working whats not

oops, my bad. I should limit myself to what I've tested!

I haven't noticed anything not working except chromium won't start (armv6 issue if I read the bug reports right)
and iceweasel freezes trying to watch flash videos with gnash (but the stupid thing plays adverts)
aedit: oh, yes, one big thing doesn't work. Xorg-video-fbdev produces a black screen when trying to directly run X from the terminal.
X works fine in the VNC, though.
Any hardcore gurus know how to make X get along with the Android framebuffer?
I've searched and searched but can't find much at all. Most efforts seem to be making Android work with the X framebuffer, not the other way around.

Great turtorial
