I may have missed something here, but why is it not necessary to divert libGL anymore for fglrx?  I don't recall seeing any indications that it was no longer being shipped with the driver? <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 20, 2007 1:38 AM, Timo Aaltonen <<a href="mailto:tjaalton@cc.hut.fi">tjaalton@cc.hut.fi</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Tue, 13 Nov 2007, Timo Aaltonen wrote: > >       Hi! > >   We've packaged a new restricted modules package for hardy.

Ben, why did you not use this version when you started working on a l-r-m for 2.6.24? Those were all desired changes, especially the fgrlx not needing to divert libGL anymore -> users can choose to try out radeon/radeonhd if there's need. Also, the drivers should Provide xserver-xorg-video-2 now, otherwise they are uninstallable: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/177609" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/177609</a> t -- ubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div> -- Mario Limonciello <a href="mailto:superm1@gmail.com">superm1@gmail.com</a>
