The process is documented reasonably well in the "debian/README.hacking" file, it should be straightforward for someone with packaging experience. Don't worry however, I hope I'll be able to prepare new packages this evening, but as Steinar pointed out, my card is among those not supported by 8.29 and later so I have some difficulty actually testing the packages. Anyway, I still haven't heard a good proposal about how to continue support for R200 based cards. The X.Org driver works well for everyday use, but the real stuff like Doom 3 looks ugly. My idea is to keep 8.28 in Debian alongside the more recent version, but I still haven't decided how exactly to proceed. For example, I can rename the new package (or the old). For now, I think I'll prepare 8.30 packages and upload to experimental. That should at least give interested users a way to get supported packages. -- Ciao, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Damn. Well, I might have a go at it standalone if no one else is willing, if there is a modicum of documentationabout the packaging process (or at least support :). -- 2.

Hi Flavio, As others have already noted, ATI released 8.30.3 which is supposed to finally fix XV, so I'm anxious (being without fully-functional XV since the day I got my X1600). Do you need a sponsor for the upload? -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#388794: 8.30.3 fixes
The new upstream version (8.30.3) introduces XVideo support for Xorg 7.1. This would seem to be a good reason to upgrade ASAP. Perhaps you might want to just skip over 8.29.6? Nathan A.
