well i had an up to date as of yesterday install of debian unstable, and
besides my usual fix of packages ;) i had done an apt-get install
kde-devel so x devel packages was installed and when i did the dpkg -iO
*.deb stuff it failed on that package. fixed it by apt-get -f install
and it then removed some of the devel packages. 4 of them if i remember
correct.Can't check the version at my machine for the moment but i have
a vague remeberance of some strange versioning combination in one of the
devel packages.

That would be correct, one odd fact is (have been wrestling a bit with
this card since i bought it when xfree86 announced full 3d support and
released it with half broken xvideo and a hard hanging rtcw game;).
long rambling.. just ignore. The funny fact is that the card works
perfect with both those games and all other stuff i have tried if i ran
the cvs debian packages from michael däenzer at the DRI site. and as a
side note since im already testing lots of stuff this week is that
Fedora's xorg packages also works fine.
