You generally will use CVS if you like to live on the bleeding edge, if your card is not supported without it (mine's not), or if you need some of the fixes and features that have happened since then. In other words, same reasons you'd run a 2.4 kernel right now. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Free software developer you people are all insane. knight: sure, that's why we work on Debian.

Well, I develop a large OpenGL visualization application for weather radar volume data, and my G400 card would freak out and paint garbage all over the screen whenever I loaded up some big textures. So I was waiting for someone to get the latest DRI stuff aptable, and I am grateful. My recent workaround has been to use the utah-glx stuff, but then I didn't get antialiased fonts in KDE. -- Thomas E. Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CIMMS/NSSL, Norman, OK, USA

RE: APT-able Debian DRI CVS packages ready for testing.
Ok, perhaps I'm really dense, but what's the advantage of using this over just using Branden's X debs? I have 3d acceleration and working DRI for both my V3 and my G450 as it stands, without adding any further software. And I can turn it on or off as I want (if I need 24 bit for something, for example).
