Hello all, I have a Matrox G200 card, and I'd like to use Matrox's drivers (which I've had success with in the past). Unfortunately, I can't use the binary version, since I run sid and XFree86 is at version 4.1.0.1, which is not compatible with any of the provided drivers from Matrox.
I'd like to be able to build a custom package for xfree86-xserver rather than install directly from source. I've read up on and toyed with dpkg-buildpackage, and have gotten it up to the point of the first Debian patch failing (undoubtedly because I replaced many mga driver files in the source tarball). I've even gone as far as to attempt to exclude various files from patching via a regex as provided for in the args to dpkg-buildpackage, but I can't get that to work. What would be the best way for me to run these drivers? I'm assuming that this would still involve rebuilding a package, and if that is the case, how can I best proceed with that? Thanks for any tips. -- Justin R. Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> View my website at http://codesorcery.net Please encrypt email using key 0xC9C40C31
