In the version of alien present in potato there are some diffs that should help about installing it, as well as diffs for xfree86config-i740. I do not think that alien from potato can be installed friendly in slink, due to the perl reorganization, but copying the diffs to the alien patches directory should probably work. i think the source has been handed over to xfree, so the problem will go away soon anyway (thank god).

i740 video card drivers
I recently installed Debian 2.1 R2 to find that it does not support the Intel740. I found drivers but they are for Redhat. I was wondering if it was possible to use those drivers ie if they are compatible. And if not if there will be drivers for Debian. I would really like to use Debian but I would also like to use X. =P Thanx in advance for any help you could give.

I can now try writing optimised drivers for SVGALib, and all those things I wanted to write drivers for. (If I can...)
