To follow up, the server depends on xserver-xorg-all | xserver-xorg-video(-2). Any packaged driver from Debian will fulfill the latter requirement, allowing you to install the server with just a single driver. The -all package is the default though to ensure that everyone has the right driver if we can provide it. If you want to work on getting just the individual driver necessary for the machine installed, it's something I'm interested in working on, so feel free to help out there if this is something you want to see happen. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
