And if you want to learn a bit before jumping in, you should obviously subscribe to debian-x@ and read what's happening (but things are calm these days thanks to bug reporters being in vacation). If you want to follow upstream's work, you can look at: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] for general discussion * [EMAIL PROTECTED] for most commits * [EMAIL PROTECTED] for upstream bugs There are also some specific lists such as mesa*, xorg-driver-ati, intel-gfx, ... Also, it might be interesting to know what hardware you own. We mostly have some intel and ati boards on x86 architectures. It's always nice to have somebody who can test some non-trivial driver or architecture instead of blindly uploading :) Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
