Can I then assume that when you say "grab your new video driver > from experimental" you really mean "grab your new driver and any other > necessary bits for it to work from experimental"?

By now you shouldn't need to downgrade to testing's version since a new version of the old version has now been uploaded to unstable, 2:1.0.2-10. This repairs the mistaken upload, overturning my warning email. Systems will be restored with the next mirror pulse of unstable. I'm sorry for the inconveniences, Drew Parsons
