It did _not_ make it into 4.2.0. Appearently GeForce4 came out after 4.2.0 was released. "XFree86 -configure" worked on a CVS checkout from yesterday, ie. it created a sensible-looking /root/XF86Config.new file. The server still doesn't start up properly, but that's not really a debian 4.2.0 package problem, so I'll take that off this list. > There's also mentioning that the NVIDIA drivers are missing from the > debian kernels: > ><http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2002/debian-project-200204/msg00042.html> > Does anyone know if these kernel drivers in any way effects XFree86? > Ie. if we can get XFree86 working by building a kernel with these > drivers? The answer is: yes you can get XFree86 working without a kernel with these drivers, but you cannot get XFree86 with OpenGL hardware accelleration working on a GeForce4 card without these drivers.
