Bug#250915: Followup on Bug#250915: about your Debian installation report
Joey Hess requested a re-test of the problem install. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do a re-install, especially since there's nothing in the xserver-xfree86 changelogs to suggest the problem is fixed.
I did have some correspondence with Branden Robinson. He did mention plans to backport the s3 driver from the XFree86 4.4.0 release
candidate right before the relicensing and that this *may* fix this bug.
He requested help testing on the machine with the S3 card, which would be possible, but I haven't heard anything more about it (guess he's busy). Unfortunately, it looks like I will be disposing of this machine in December, so it will no longer be available for testing after this.
My workaround of running xfree 3.3.6 out of a woody chroot environment works fine for me, so as far as I'm concerned the bug can be closed.
Best wishes
- Jason
