Why have you made the upgrade path in X impossible? You can't run utah on
4.0 - yet you blindly install 4.0 over every system by dependcies. You
don't even bother checking /proc to see what card is installed. A simple
grep of /proc/pci shows I have an AGP G400, not a V3!
I have a machine that has half 3.3.6-18 and 4.0 installed now - and I had
the utah package installed! You should check for utah before 'upgrading'
blindly over it. I told you people not to do this - 3d accel is very
important - you shouldn't dissmiss it outright.
I'm having to reinstall all my X libs and applications now, and I can't
develop my projects while fixing your mistakes.
cheers,
Terry
