Ah, that stuff. I've been watching Keith's commit messages with great interest. It does look like cool stuff but he's still chasing the bugs out of it. I'd rather wait until Keith has given some indication that the code is stable before I'd even want to consider patching up to it.

It can't find the modules pcidata and bitmap. Neither can I! Actually, the whole "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" directory does not exist. Is this because of what you explain above?

xft and xfree86-truetype-fonts
The new redhat beta, limbo, uses xft and a package called xfree86-truetype-fonts for displaying schweet looking fonts. These packages are not included in the 4.2.0 series of debs.

4.2.0 nVidia driver comments
Thanks, Branden, for including the nv driver backport in the latest 4.2.0 prerelease (which added support for the GeForce2 Go). I tried switching from the *gag* non-free binary driver to nv, and it mostly worked, with the following caveats: - Segfault when the glx driver was loaded. There were two unresolved _gl symbols in the X server backtrace; I can get the trace if that will help some. (Rebooting without the nvidia binary module loaded did not help any.) - The mouse cursor didn't render right; it was small, red, and in two more-or-less identical pieces about 30 pixels apart separated by a bit of pixel garbage. (Probably using a software cursor would have fixed this.) - There is no third caveat. Or maybe there was, but I forgot it. The other minor difficulty is that I had to disable Xkb because of my fubared laptop keyboard. It might be nice if a really low priority debconf question could be included for this, so I can fully dexconf my setup.

Graphics error since upgrade to Xfree 4.2
Hello, since I've installed Xfree4.2 packages on my machine, I'm seeing a strange graphics error with all Mozilla buttons: There are some pixels missing on each of the four corners (see screenshot on http://atschlichter33.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/mozilla.png). When I drag another window over the buttons then they're repainted correctly. Who's to blame for that? X? Mozilla? My stupid hardware? (ATI Radeon 32SDR AGP (tried different resolutions and color depths) ) Before I moved my workstation to Xfree 4.2, I installed it on a notebook with integrated intel i830 graphics - works just fine. Thank you! Thomas --
