I've done without fbdev and vesa for years : it's only a warning. I'm all in favour of showing the exact versions, and md5sums, of the various components of xorg, so doing this for the drivers sounds good. Also, not quite sure why anyone would need two video drivers ? (apart from people creating distros and doing binary installs on multiple machines). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
