Hello Steve,

The above BTS reassign action is to bring you in contact with
other people in Debian who work on Nvidia stuff. ( Hi Randall!  :-)
Where Christian Perrier suggested to open new bug about the X window
system issue, is he right. My reason for continueing on this bugreport,
is because it has history about your enthousiasm.

Go further with the pursuit. I see that you enjoy it!


Cheers
Geert Stappers
