I use openSUSE and missed packages. There were several SUSE based distributions using old broken (by spec file) E17 packages and I want to offer replacement and improve E17 integration in openSUSE. That's all connection to SUSE. I'd be happy to ask when I have problem with packaging and I'll try to work as proxy between SUSE users and E's bugzilla. Please, don't fix driver issues. Known workaround will help others to use/test E17 until driver issue is gone (which may take some time). > >what you found is a driver bug. :) you REALLY REALLY REALLY should be filing >bug reports with the driver writers. :) i'm trying to encourage you not to just >mail here and have people do their own private work-arounds, or hope the >developers will do in-app/evas workarounds, but make sure the actual problem is >resolved at the driver level. :) Already submited to freedesktop.org even though it had duplicates in different bugzillas. > >if we have a bug in efl/e, i'd hope you file/report bugs with us so we fix it >instead of work around them in packages+patches or other things. :) Sure thing. openSUSE package maintainers always try to push fixes to upstream, I believe there's some policy about that.
