This looks to be the right solution to me, since it'll install all the drivers by default using the metapackage, but let any of the individual drivers satisfy the dependency on its own. Much better than using recommends for the metapackage, which was my original thought. We may want to use Ender's suggestion of xorg-video-drivers-all as the name for the metapackage, since it'll distinguish the metapackage from the virtual package much more than just making "driver" plural. I haven't looked at what Daniel is using for this yet, but it's probably very similar. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
