I tried that. But the previous version of the driver has a dependency on xserver-xorg-video-abi-12, which is a virtual package not currently provided by any current package. The last package to provide it was the old version of xserver-xorg-core. Thus, a downgrade of xserver-xorg-core would be required too, and that in turn would require a downgrade of just about the entire suite of X-related packages. It's not worth doing. For the moment, the VESA driver is my only solution, and not a very good one. I'm considering trying to build the 3D support module for the MACH64 driver, in hopes that it will coax the MACH64 driver into working again. I have been content with 2D support up to now. I've heard that the 3D support module for this chipset has stability issues. But with the VESA driver, I don't even get 2D support, plus the issues mentioned in the original post. It seems like building the 3D support module is worth a try. -- .''`. Stephen Powell : :' : `. `'` `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
