No. I see it's in experimental. I suspect that stable -> experimental may be too big a jump to do all at once. Might be rough on reliability. It's a Radeon 8500-DV. I found a message a few days ago that hinted that 4.2.1 might be what I need. Of course, it wasn't very definitive -- it was more like an aside in another discussion. Right now I have *no* X drivers at all under debian. Anything would be an improvement, accelerated or not, even without DV support.. -- hendrik > > Cheers, > > -- > Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
