This is the normal SSE test. The signal is caught by mesa. Just type cont to proceed to the real problem. > > > BTW: the 'install.sh' in the above packages common-* and sis-* > overwrites prexisting files, and there is no way to unistall and put > back the originals; moreover IMHO 'install.sh' does not log its > actions enough If you ran install.sh only once per package you can run install.sh restore to restore the original files. I have toyed with the tought to not overwrite preexisting backup files on a second installation. That would allow repeated installation without losing the ability to restore the original state. AFAIK only driconf-related stuff is not restored at all ATM. If you feel like logging could be improved you're welcome to submit a patch. ;-) I don't have the time to look into it ATM and as I don't use snapshots myself the install script is always the hardest part for me to test. > > a.
