Hello the X Strike Force, hello backporters, I am writing on behalf of the Tails Debian Live system [1]. >From several bug reports and user feedback, it looks like our users would benefit from an updated Xorg stack, especially when it comes to recent hardware support.
While most of what Tails need is already in squeeze-backports, we also ship two packages that are currently missing; namely: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse and xserver-xorg-video-geode. The former is at least useful when run under VirtualBox and the later is needed to support some older "thin clients" and netbooks. Would anyone be kind enough to help Tails by backporting those two packages? By the way, I'd be glad to hear about your plans for the XSF Squeeze backports. (These packages are currently a bit older than the ones in testing; I very well understand this may on purpose, waiting for better, newer version that would be more suitable for backporting, or this may be because the packages in testing don't bring enough improvements to be worth the backporting effort, or because nobody asked, or whatever.) Anyway, before we supply these backports to Tails users, I'd like to hear if you feel you'll be in a good position to maintain these backports during the Squeeze lifetime.
