According to GLEP 42: "The algorithm used to determine whether a news item is 'relevant' is as follows: * For each Display-If- header type which occurs at least once: ** The news item is not relevant if none of the headers of this type are successfully matched. * Otherwise the news item is relevant." I understand it like a OR match for every type, which are linked by AND. > Display-If-Profile: default-linux/alpha > Display-If-Profile: default/linux/alpha There is also Display-If-Keyword (for the sake of completeness in this post). > Recent versions of xorg's X11 require kernel support to access PCI and > AGP graphic cards.

Maybe you could mention the 1.5 upgrade guide again.
