The process is documented reasonably well in the "debian/README.hacking" file, it should be straightforward for someone with packaging experience. Don't worry however, I hope I'll be able to prepare new packages this evening, but as Steinar pointed out, my card is among those not supported by 8.29 and later so I have some difficulty actually testing the packages. Anyway, I still haven't heard a good proposal about how to continue support for R200 based cards. The X.Org driver works well for everyday use, but the real stuff like Doom 3 looks ugly. My idea is to keep 8.28 in Debian alongside the more recent version, but I still haven't decided how exactly to proceed. For example, I can rename the new package (or the old). For now, I think I'll prepare 8.30 packages and upload to experimental. That should at least give interested users a way to get supported packages. -- Ciao, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
