Greets -
I've been playing with the Wheezy/2.6.4 release on the Live ISO and 
intended to move it over to an older 2.4 machine while upgrading 
hardware in the process. (old system: Mesa 7i43)
The target machine will have a Mesa 7i90 via EPP. The included samples 
do not run, unfortunately.
Peter assisted somewhat, in that there is a typo in the 7i90.ini file 
where the board name needs to have a capital "I", but that only gets us 
partway.

The version of Mesaflash utility bundled with the install is 3.0.0-July 
which has the '--list' option still available. When executed via script 
or CLI,  it throws a Segmentation Fault.

Downloading the "current" ver 3.0.0 that does NOT have the '--list' 
option (time to change the version numbers, isn't it?) builds and 
executes, and successfully finds the 7i90 board attached.

Apt, however still believes the "old" version is current, so even 
removing and force reloading the package won't update it. LCNC insists 
on using the old version when it finds it, and balks when it was 
force-removed. I saw an old thread on gmane about this, but it didn't 
appear to get resolved.

I realize this is a more generic Linux question overall to some extents, 
but it's specific to the LCNC build:  it's not how does one make the 
package, but WHERE should it be extracted to, made from and made to, so 
that LCNC uses it?

The loading of the hm2_7i90 driver appears to depend on running 
mesaflash (according to dmesg), so there's no moving forward it seems 
until I can resolve this.

Thanks,
Ted.
