You'll have to poke around to see what versions are needed, but as long as you're on unstable, they're _prolly_ already packaged. Oh, and the new mini-devfsd if you're running devfs...

I _believe_ they've recently moved over to the new framebuffer/console architecture, so it'll be a pretty large backport, I suspect. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 6th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
