It looks like the X.org display driver for the AMD Geode LX I am
installing on hasn't made it into a deb package yet - though I
have found it in the list of requested packages here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400748
and what looks like the sources here:
http://dl.exactcode.de/oss/xorg/
Can anyone point me at any instructions/tutorial/suggestions re
what is required to get a driver going for hardware that is supported
by Xorg but not yet by Debian? Has anyone else done it? The driver
does appear to have made it into Ubuntu, but didn't find any debian
packages (unofficial or Sid) with a google search - if anyone knows
of a source that it missed, please let me know.
Is it a case of installing the Debian Xorg source package and
adding the relevent driver source to the tree and then doing a
build?
I am installing Etch, and in view of the current install problems
have installed the following packages
x-window-system-core
x-window-system
xserver-xorg-input-kbd/mouse
xserver-xorg-video-vesa
and done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. This seems to allow 'startx' to
work, but I still havn't got to the point of getting the system to come
up to an xdm login, so I suppose I have missed something :-(
Thanks,
DigbyT
