Hi Riku, Debian wheezy will be shipped with a 3.2 kernel, which does not even have omapdrm in staging. xf86-video-omap won't work without the omapdrm driver in the kernel (which is in staging since 3.3). To get omapdrm working on OMAP3 CMA (Contiguous Memory Allocator) is needed, which will probably be merged into 3.5. Also xf86-video-omap in experimental is currently completly broken. This can be fixed by updating it to the latest release, which depends on omap support in libdrm, see [0]. => xf86-video-omap is not an alternative for wheezy, but it is more comfortable than -omapfb (xrandr!) and actively maintained. I suggest to drop -omapfb once wheezy has been released. [0] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667572 -- Sebastian
