Had I wanted to use /usr/X11R6-dri, I'd simply have done it. /usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri-trunk serves the purpose quite well. It's only an X server after all, not a whole /usr/X11R6 -like tree. > dri is allready packaged, but it dosen't let you run xfree86. What about /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86.nodri-trunk? Maybe you really want an alternative for the X server? There's already /etc/X11/X, but I'm not sure how that's (supposed to be) managed. > This would mean that libGL and everything would need to be moved into > /usr/X11R6-*, Why would you want several libGLs installed at the same time? > /usr/X11R6-gatos even has it's own kernel mod. I fail to see how kernel modules have anything to do with /usr/X11R6. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
