Dear Debian X strike force team,

May I ask why bugs that are (sometimes easily) solvable don't even get
attention from the maintainers? The release of etch is imminent and help
on serious bugs would be of large interest to you. Now I know how to
patch the tdfx driver to work in xorg 7.1, due to direct communication
with the developers. (I was also instrumental for the mga 1.4.4 driver)
However, in case upstream will not supply a new release, I will attempt
to submit a patch for the driver. Please let me know it you need at
binary (in my case an i386  package) or a source patch. Pointers please.

Thanks,
Svante
