Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-3 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hello Branden,
Thanks to have include #000_stolen_from_HEAD_neomagic_driver. This works well on my MagicMedia 256AV. However this require adding Option "OverlayMem" "829440" to the XF86Config, but this is not documented in the neomagic manpage. Fortunately, I found a patch for the man page at <http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/neomagic/2002-October/001197.html> --- neomagic.man.orig 2002-10-25 10:34:20.000000000 +0200 +++ neomagic.man 2002-10-25 10:47:07.000000000 +0200 @@ -72,6 +72,13 @@ .TP .BI "Option \*qShadowFB\*q \*q" boolean \*q Enable or disable use of the shadow framebuffer layer.

If you don't just let the bug open until 4.3 is released, this will give a supplementary chance for people to find out the right incantation. You deserve full credit for providing Debian with Xfree packages that are 1) really stable and 2) include all the new features of the CVS version!
