Bug#387596: RFA: root-portal -- Monitors the system and displays the results on the desktop
Package: wnpp Hi, I no longer have time to maintain root-portal so I'm asking if anybody wants to maintain it. One of the packages it depends on, libzvt is orphaned so it probably requires a bit of work to port root-portal to use vte instead. If nobody picks it up, I'll ask for removal in a bit. -- Tollef Fog Heen,''`.

Xorg use discover for the autodetection of the Graphiccard Now for 2 days I think, I have read on that they are working on it. (removing of discover and using the Xorg own detection tool... If I update 600 Sarge systems to Etch, they would currently install discover as a depends.

Well, that could be a good case for using high priority.
