Package: xorg Version: 7.1.0-7 Hi all, I'm installing Debian testing (etch) for i386 on an AMD machine (kernel 2.6.17-2-k7), using the new installer; I use a standard installation in tasksel to have a minimal working system. On such a system, at the end, I try to install xorg 7.1.0-7 with two different commands: - apt-get install xorg - aptitude install xorg
With apt-get there are 98 packages to install and the video card is not recognized (vesa driver doesn't work, but this is not important for me). Aptitude installs 105 packages instead, and the video card (nv driver) is correctly recognized. See commands outputs in each attachment. Is this behavior correct? IMHO apt-get should make the same work aptitude does: hardware recognition, correct driver installation, (installation of the same packets?). Thanks in advance Franco Vecchiato
