siliconmotion driver doesn't work. fbdev always does, since it relies on the graphics driver used by Linux throurough the boot process. Since installing siliconmotion prevents X from falling back to fbdev when that fails (sigh), installing the xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion package is actually counter productive. I've adjusted the install process so it won't be dragged in. This should be a non-issue now. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
