If there are no objections, I'll push it do bddebian master this evening, so 
it will be online once Thomas pulls it into the site. 

(currently it is available in the master-news_next branch 
-> http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contributing/web_pages/news.html )

The first implementation was buggy, but that got fixed several months
ago -- there was some mails about that on the list. It now does work
with X.

(Well, at least for some people... It still fails for me, with a
different error, and I didn't yet have time to look into it.)

Ah, right, our presence at FOSDEM was another thing I wanted to
mention...

I still haven't uploaded the slides. But I guess you can just link to
the relevant pages for the talks on the FOSDEM site -- I assume the
slided will be linked there too once I send them in...

For the libpciaccess backend, the submission is at

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-January/048801.html

and the commit is at

That's what that backend is about.

It is also very useful for DDE too:-)
I thought Olaf told me that libpciaccess couldn't work with X or Gnome very well
and there was a bug unsolved, but I cannot remember what he really said.

For DDE, you can see a brief introduction here:

Can you point me to mails about these? (or IRC logs or so)

I currently can't find resources myself. 

Do you mean this one for DDE?
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-02/msg00017.html


What I'd also like to list are notes or the presentation for the fosdem talks 
- could you upload them somewhere? 

Best wishes, 
Arne

Is the bug in libpciaccess fixed? I heard X cannot work with libpciaccess or
something like that.
> - first driver running with DDE
Another good news: the problem of the driver is finally fixed. It turns out to
be a bug in DDE Linux26. Now the driver can run very well.

No problem -- though I already wondered about it :-)

Some things that come to mind:

- libpciaccess backend merged upstream
- first driver running with DDE

Late news

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi, 

I somehow fumbled with the date (thoght we'd have a 29th and 30th…), and today 
I'm to groggy to write the news, so they'll be a bit late this month. 

Sorry for that :( 

Wishes, 
Arne
