[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#558658: please package upstream

[Sebastian Bremicker]

Package: nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx
Version: 173.14.20-2sebrem
Severity: normal


Hi,

if you would like to fiddle around with the latest x.org, I have tried to
re-package the current version 173.14.20-1 with the binaries from
nvidia.com. The results are at http://sebrem.de/~sebrem/nv/ - without any
warranties. With xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.3.902-1 I had to kill and restart kdm
via ssh from remote (2nd pc, lucky me ;) ) to be able to log in, now after
update to 2:1.7.4-1 it appears to work. The -dev package does not install
because I did not bump the version correctly.

But maybe it helps until there is an official new package by the
maintainers.

Kind regards

Sebastian
