Yep, this is correct, v5 is for voodoo 4 and 5 (not that anyone's really got a voodoo 4 ... what happened to them anyways?) The current glide packages in debian are glide 2 packages, ie. version 2 of the Glide API. The X4 DRI implementation requires glide 3 libraries, (which has only recently been released for linux), which is what I'm ITP'ing. I'm not sure, but this may actually support voodoo 2 cards as well (there is a voodoo 2 build tree in the upstream dist). If so, I'll also build a libglide3-v2 package as well Thanks, Timshel -- Timshel Knoll <timshel@pobox.com> for Debian email: <timshel@debian.org> Second year Computer Science, RMIT | CS108 Tutor (Semester 2, 2000) Debian GNU/Linux developer, see http://www.debian.org/~timshel/ For GnuPG public key: finger timshel@ozemail.com.au or timshel@debian.org
