Followup-For: Bug #296907 Package: nvclock
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I have spoken with the nvclock upstream developers, who say that nvclock does NOT require nvidia's binary-only driver in order to operate, but some functionality is missing without it (no OpenGl control, only runs as root, uses /dev/mem instead of /dev/nvidia*). As a result, I've made a small patch to debian/control, to fix the package description and place a Recommends: on nvidia-glx.
