I've tidied up the DebianYeeloong/HowTo/Install page so that we now have
a Wheezy X section for Wheezy and so we can leave the Squeeze X section
to Squeeze only.  If you have experience of getting X working in Wheezy
then please could you put the step by step instructions in
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianYeeloong/HowTo/Install#Wheezy_X

After Wheezy is released we can deprecate the Squeeze section and add a
Jessie (the release after Wheezy) section.  It would be good to get the
patches into X for Jessie so we that we won't need a Jessie X section.
Perhaps we could even get the install instructions into the official manual?

Thanks,
Mike.
