Thanks. Just a few questions, if you already know the answer. Beside the regular nvidia-glx package and the relevant kernel module package would this mechanism also support the various other packages of the nvidia driver currently available in sid (e.g. legacy-71xx and legacy-96xx)? These different nvidia packages conflict with each other, so it might happen that the correct nvidia package is not installed by the time the xorg packages run their debconf script. How would this situation be handled? Ciao! Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
