  Description     : GUI tool to configure open source graphics drivers

adriconf (Advanced DRI CONFigurator) is a GUI tool used to configure open
source graphics drivers. It works by setting options and writing them to the
standard drirc file used by the Mesa drivers.

The main features of the tool are:

    * Automatic removal of invalid and unsupported options.
    * Options whose value is identical to the system-wide value or the
      driver's default value will be ignored.
    * System-wide application options with redundant options will be removed
      automatically.

-----

AFAIK, we don't seem to have any kind of easy-to-use configurator of
graphics drivers and this tool seems to fill those needs.

It would be a very valuable addition to the Debian users that need to tweak
one aspect or the other of their graphics configurations.


Thanks,
