Package: svgatextmode
Version: 1.9-21
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
when i try to use the stm binary, i get what
follows (i appended also the output of the lspci command)
% sudo stm
Chipset = `RIVA128', Textmode clock = 28.30 MHz, 80x25 chars, CharCell = 9x16.
Refresh = 31.44kHz/70.0Hz.
stm: Syncing disks...
stm: ERROR: No supported nVidia GPU found in PCI info!
% lspci -m | grep -i geforce
02:00.0 "VGA compatible controller" "nVidia Corporation" "G96 [GeForce 9400
GT]" -ra1 "Elitegroup Computer Systems" "Device 10b7"
%
afaik, a relevant portion of new hardware systems on which
debian is going to be installed include one of the new video
chips from nVidia, and the lack of support for these chips
is fatal to the usability of this package on many new systems
my best regards,
gb
