I'm think it's not a problem if maintainter of package also is translator
;) So package for ALTLinux with russian translation is coming soon.

The .deb is at http://incoming.debian.org/ now and will be in sid within

 This version introduces a completely redesigned user interface that is
 intended to be both simpler and more intuitive. If the old user
 interface resembled the GNOME configuration editor then the new one
 looks and feels much more like a configuration applet. Thus the big
 change in the version number.

FWIW, I like the new UI much better (it reminded me that I
unintentionally overrode some settings for some apps :). My only
suggestion would be to hide the default settings in both parts of the
UI, on the one hand so that it'll pick up changes to the default values,
and on the other hand because it would tidy up the upper part IMO. On a
slightly related note, a drag bar between the parts to change their
relative height might be nice.


Thanks for this great update, keep 'em coming! :)

Nice. :-)

Matthew suggested to make the option descriptions shorter and add longer
descriptions in a tool tip. That would tidy up the upper part but you'd
still have the overview of all options. It may require a change in the
drivers, though, and possibly a change of the configuration
infrastructure itself. I'm going to look into this. I believe I can do
this without breaking compatibility between old/new drivers and DRIconf
version.

  On a
 slightly related note, a drag bar between the parts to change their
 relative height might be nice.

I don't like the drag-bar. In the old UI it tended to mess up the
automatic widget space allocation and forced me to hard-code some widget
and window sizes in pixels. If this is really an issue I might break out
the application settings into a separate dialog instead.

 
 
 Thanks for this great update, keep 'em coming! :)
 

Thanks for the feedback!

Regards,
  Felix

[Announce] DRIconf 0.9.0 released

2006-01-26 Thread Felix Kühling
Hi DRI users,

It is my pleasure to announce a new release of DRIconf, version 0.9.0 of
the DRI configuration applet. The source and installation instructions
can be found on the project homepage at
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf. Note that updated pre-packaged
versions for Linux distributions are not available yet.

This version introduces a completely redesigned user interface that is
intended to be both simpler and more intuitive. If the old user
interface resembled the GNOME configuration editor then the new one
looks and feels much more like a configuration applet. Thus the big
change in the version number.

!!! WARNING !!! The new code changes the structure of your configuration
file in order to be able to represent it in the simplified user
interface. In general that should not change the effect of the
configuration file. But that code has not been widely tested yet. So if
you can't afford to loose your settings please make a backup copy of
your configuration file first (~/.drirc). Please report any problems you
find on one of these mailing lists. Include a copy of the original
configuration file in the report so that I can reproduce and investigate
the problem.

Unfortunately the amount of changes in the user interface means that the
translations (except the German one) aren't up-to-date. I hope I will be
able wrap up another release in a few weeks with updated translations. I
wouldn't mind adding a few new ones at the same time. If you'd like to
translate DRIconf to your language, just follow the instructions at the
top of the Makefile that is included in the source tarball.

Distribution packagers may want to take a look at this release. But I
suggest to wait for the next version that will include updated
translations (unless I have to make a bug-fix release sooner than that).

Best regards,
  Felix
