[Pkg-xen-devel] Xen + Debian Squeeze + Recent ATI Graphics Card

[Stuart Chalmers]

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses - they've been very useful.

The good news is that the latest kernel in Squeeze seems to allow KMS when 
launching Xen with a Squeeze Dom0.

However, DRM/DRI still seems to be broken so have raised a bug (#591574) against 
the current 'Xen flavoured' kernel in Squeeze.

Still happy to do what I can to help test.

Cheers.

FYI, my packaging of it is done:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=xen-qemu-dm-4.0&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all


And by the way, that'd be nice if a Suggests: or Recommends: for this
package was added to xen-linux-system-* package (I don't think a strong
Depends: is needed, as not everyone needs it). Bastian, could you add it
on your next upload?

Cheers,

Thomas
