My guess is that this module is: CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA This option gives you AGP support for the GLX component of the XFree86 4.x on NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipsets. ^^ You should say Y here if you use XFree86 3.3.6 or 4.x and want to use GLX or DRI. If unsure, say N. nForce is motherboard chipset, not a GPU. BTW, I am running the "nv" XFree86 driver too, and without any NVidia's binary kernel module. No accelerated 3D graphics, but the videocard works for 2D. -- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. ..

That people not caring about freedom find the > idea of freedom ridiculous is nothing new. What has that to do with it ? The fact that dubious tests are used, and that they can be used to reach wrong or not based-ont-the-DFSG decisions has nothing to do with freedom or not freedom. And claiming that a consensus has been reached without even giving the maintainer a chance to get in the discussion don't help. And i recuse your accusation that i don't care about freedom, and ask you to either take it back, or to give real facts proving how you came to this situation. > And, for the record, there are already references to the desert island > test in 2002 (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/01/msg00010.html > for example).

Yep, and i reject that analysis in the light of the problematic QPL clause that got me muddled hip-deep into debian-legal 6 month ago.

As I'm typing these letters, they are being drawn on my monitor by the "nv" driver from xserver-xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-10). I'm running a stock Debian kernel which I assume does not include NVidia's binary kernel module.
