Rock. I like the idea of using pkg-xorg instead of people.debian.org (which
I did in the past) a lot. Let me know when you get the repo set up and I'll
blog about it. All the drivers are built from the stuff that's in git,
right? Except for -ati, that's all in the -unstable branches, iirc. I'm
going to start a frenzy of patching the drivers today so that they can be
autoloaded, and I want to be sure I'm committing to the right branches for
what you're building.
