These drivers need an actual Debian maintainer. I don't have any sun hardware, and I'm unable and, as a result, unwilling to maintain them myself. If someone with a sun machine is interested in maintaining them, I'd be happy to facilitate the effort. They are currently packaged in the X Strike Force subversion repository, although I don't know if they build and run properly. You're welcome to pull them from there. See the debian-x archives for the past month or two for instructions on how to do so. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
