I have three sids, one of which is upgraded almost daily, the others in
half-gigabyte chunks and with a certain amount of hope. It *is* sid,
after all.
I saw the xorg problem stuff appear and over a few days, reduce in
numbers. Then it stuck for a few more days, and I poked around a bit
and came to the conclusion that the rest was not going away. I do
recall that my first ever video card was s3-based, and that was
mumble-mumble years ago.
