And I don't really want to build v3 again, it took even longer and due to some weird bug _somwhere_ it never fully autobuilt (oh, think we have a patch in the sourcedependencies now). > If necessary, I think I can hack around things and arrange to keep > xserver-fbdev in woody until someone tells me otherwise, if that's You mean in the archive? That would be nice. Then I would still have to upload without xserver-*? Actually I never checked if the v3 server works with the old libraries, and it seems nobody else did.

Maybe it works when built without module loader, I would upload that one. But if it requires more fixing, I'd like to have 10 "fast" machines (fast= it still takes a day to build) and 5 people to help, please. Or at least some hints and patches.
