No. I see it's in experimental. I suspect that stable -> experimental
may be too big a jump to do all at once. Might be rough on reliability.
It's a Radeon 8500-DV. I found a message a few days ago that hinted
that 4.2.1 might be what I need. Of course, it wasn't very definitive
-- it was more like an aside in another discussion.
Right now I have *no* X drivers at all under debian. Anything would be
an improvement, accelerated or not, even without DV support..
