You seem to not like either to keep things simple or Debian and KDE. So why don't you switch to other rpm based distros that have the packages that you want? All this discussion about what you don't like in Debian and in KDE is not really meaningful and BTW I don't know of any open source driver that can't be compiled in Debian for any kernel. If it's closed source, then again: use the distro that is compatible with the package format with which the drivers are provided. Just a personal thought on this topic: it seems very odd that a driver compiled for a kernel running on a completely different distro, can run on a Debian kernel too. Are you sure that you are doing things in the right way? Bye Valerio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
