Re: 3dfx.o

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  what particular problems do you have?

  I have just upgraded 2.2.14 to 2.2.17 and recompiled modules (alsa and
3dfx) and everything worked fine. however, I introduced epochs (so that
my kenrel/modules packages are not overwritten by debian ones) and now
3dfx complains about incorrect version, here's my post about the
problem, do you have same problem or a different one?

  here's copy of my e-mail:
