As long as there is a package in experimental with aufs support it's quite easy to get testing live CDs. As long as there is at least some Debian kernel which works with the driver it starts to sound reasonable to want the driver packaged as well. At least that's how I see it. > > In what way is the nouveau driver in 2.6.33 'too old'? Have you > discussed this with the X maintainers? We do talk to them, you know. > In that the driver would not work with the module - X would refuse to start.. I did not talk to X people directly. There is a wishlist bug for packaging the nouveau driver yet Debian X maintainers currently don't maintain the nouveau driver. The version in experimental is ancient and broken, the nouveau libdrm module is not built from current libdrm.
