i will try this and report back on my g550 non-dual dvi, if that'll help.
but first, does anybody know:
o which versions of x (xorg in etch/lenny/sid) will it work with?
o does one simply upgrade to that xorg, install this driver, and
change xorg.conf? or is there more to do, like tweak
oops, my first question was unnecessary; Now that David pushed X.org
7.3 to unstable implies that we'll need to upgrade to unstable to get
the dvi to work. my second question nevertheless applies, as it's
worth recording here whether other stuff needs to happen, like
installing xrandr or anything

support. boot parameters won't work, because they should be
implemented by default, and because afaik they are not all

clearly you don't want text preprocessors for yourself. but why not
provide the most common ones for those who want it? i don't think
they will ask you to make it default. instead they will be grateful
for saving them the debugging.
man using less does not work because
i tested it and the hypothesis is correct.
if you can't query the existing colors, then there is little that can
be done. it would be nice if ansi included that.
i'd definitely update the man page to say that. it's kind of like

OK, with some kludging, we can finally get the old kludges to export and import
the homedir. However, the following output still occurs, presumably because the
key is no longer ultimately trusted, and -q fails to suppress
that output, and it is not clear how to do --edit-key in
another example of unnecessary accessing of homedir is when you want
to compress a file. when you do gpg --store, homedir access is unnecessary
but gpg tries to access it (perhaps to find preferences?). however, there is
no way to turn off its errors or have it simply default.
