Can you please upgrade the version of xserver-xorg-video-mga in unstable to 1.4.4 to resolve the problems I had so 395025 can be closed. Don't know about bug #392500 though. For other people to try the new driver before it is available in unstable: Download and unpack xf86-video-mga-1.4.4.tar.gz apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev, libdrm-dev, x11proto-xf86dri-dev -t unstable ./configure apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev x11proto-gl-dev -t unstable make mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mga_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mga_drv.so_1.4.2.dfsg.1-1 cp src/.libs/mga_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/mga_drv.so mv /usr/share/man/man4/mga.4.gz /usr/share/man/man4/mga.4.gz_1.4.2.dfsg.1-1 gzip man/mga.4 cp man/mga.4.gz /usr/share/man/man4/mga.4.gz Start X and check in Xorg.0.log that version 1.4.4 of mga_drv is loaded. Due to the modular structure I did not have to compile the whole xorg to try out the new driver :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
