Ok, I haven't been tracking things as closely either, so I basically hear about milestones when they happen. > Have there been any attempts thus far at packaging neuveau? Where are > they? Not that I'm aware of, but it shouldn't be hard to adapt our current driver packaging to nouveau. It's relatively simple packaging, although we do have a lot of extra stuff bolted on that will hopefully be mostly going away during this release cycle. As for nouveau itself, it may need a more up to date libdrm and mesa than we currently have, although once we get 7.2 in to unstable then experimental can be a playground for that. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
