The recommends line should be xserver-video-driver-all | .... every driver |... So that it doesn't ask to install every driver each time. Actually the xorg server does that using: xserver-video-driver-all | xserver-video-driver-1.0 and each individual xserver-video-driver-foo provides the latter. So it seems either --fix-policy --install-recommends does not what it's supposed to, or apt is not clever enough yet to enable installation of recommends by default. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
