Some remarks on 4.2.1-0pre1v1
Hi Branden,
below are some remarks I have after successfully upgrading my machine
(it has a Matrox G200) from 4.1.0-17 to 4.2.1-0pre1v1:
1. AFAIR this problem isn't new, my debconf-generated /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
contains both lines
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
in Section "ServerLayout". I had to remove the "Generic Mouse" line in
order to successfully start X.
2. While upgrading dpkg asked because of changed configuration files
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/czsk and /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/yu.
I'm wondering because I can't imagine any reason why I should have
changed these files.
In the first file only the XFree86 CVS notice in the head is changed
(the second one contains more differences).
3. mga.4x is outdated and doesn't mention that the G450 and the G550 are
supported in XFree86 4.2 . At least the patch below is needed, but
there might be additions to the chipset types in "CONFIGURATION
DETAILS" needed as well.

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.
