Okay. This is something I can make dexconf do, but I have a few questions.
1) Which is preferable? "UseFBDev" or "ProgramFPRegs" "No"?
2) Do these have applicability outside the "ati" driver? ("r128" is a
sub-driver) (I'm pretty sure "UseFBDev" does apply generally)
3) Is "UseFBDev" something that should be set for all XF86Config-4's
generated on powerpc machines?
4) Is "UseFBDev" something that should be set for all XF86Config-4's
generated on machines that are using fbcon?
5) What is the canonical way of saying in shell:
"if using_fbcon; then"?
(Probably something to do with /proc.)

A debconf frontend to XKB is a nightmare waiting to happen. :(

Thanks!

I know a person with a Wallstreet that will be very happy to hear this.

Folks should try out "glxgears" in the new version of xbase-clients.
Also, I'm strongly considering a creating a debconf template for xlibmesa3
that yells at you if your kernel is too old to support DRI. The last thing
I need are a bunch of Quake players running 2.2.19 yelling at me..."1 KANT
G3T HW ACC3L3RASHUN!!! U SUCK!!!1!11!!"
Thanks a lot for the report!
