Bug#574243: please restore Sun XVR video drivers, and add the latest one [was Re: Debian Sparc 5.4 on Sun blade 2500]



Hi Moritz,

I have the hardware (Sun Blade 2500 - 2x1270Mhz processor, 8Gb RAM,
XVR 1200, 2x36Gb internal disk, a MultiPack with lot of 72Gb and 143Gb
disks, a second single-ended SCSI internal board for internal DAT
72Gb) and I should be happy to test your updates, but I need your help
to install them.
Waiting for your reply,
Maurizio
