Ad-hoc should still, as you say, work. Yup. I'm going to gamble that stupidity doesn't prevail. A risky gamble. :) But the worst that can happen is that we end up with packages named as you indicated: xfree86-driver-intel-input xfree86-driver-intel-display In practice, different modules are used not just for display drivers, but for different chipset families. Anyway, have we beat this horse enough? :) -- G.
