tip: X and matrox millenium II

1997-12-03 Thread Donald R. Harter Jr.
I finally got my Matrox MIllenium II card to work with X and debian. The reason I had so much trouble, is that none of the debian xserver releases have the latest SVGAxserver with the matrox millenium driver. Not even hamm has these drivers. Confusion is caused by the numbering of the debian rel

debian for development?

1997-11-05 Thread Donald R. Harter Jr.
