Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers Severity: normal Severity bordering on wishlist, but it seems the packages are mislabelled.
The description of some of these packages, particularly the source packages, refers to XFree86. This makes it appear that they will not work with xorg, which will be the default X with the next release (and in testing now). Similarly, I wondered about how tightly the packages are tied to particular kernel versions. The only kernel-specific versions are for 2.4. This (and a comment I saw elsewhere) raised the issue for me about which kernels it's likely to work with. Again, some of the closed bugs indicate success with 2.6, even 2.6.14 which has not devfs but only udev (something that might be a hurdle). It may be that the readme in the packages clarifies this, but if it could be clearer to someone considering the packages that would be good. I was/am interested because the free xorg nv driver is having problems with my GeForce 6600 chip, and there apparently is a known problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27advncdfs Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
