I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade to reach Jessie 8.7 from Wheezy. It's still 
using 3.16 kernel and Xorg server 1.12.4. apt-cache search linux-image shows me 
the various kernel versions to choose from backports, but apt-cache search 
xserver-xorg-core produces a short list with no versions. What am I doing wrong 
to not have been upgraded to Jessie's Xorg server version, and why doesn't 
apt-cache search give any version info?

Also, apt-get update produces a BADSIG GPG error for jessie-backports. How does 
one go about cleaning that up?
