Well, truthfully, I don't have anything useful to add. I just wanted |

I updated my ~amd64 machine this morning while simultaneously switching |
| 15 |
to the nouveau nVidia driver and had no problems -- quite a shock for me. |

I disabled the hal useflag only for xorg-server just to be cautious, and |
| 18 |
the only error message I see in my Xorg log is a complaint that no input |
| 19 |
driver could be detected for the mouse -- and then udev proceeded to find |
| 20 |
and use the mouse perfectly. Dunno what that error message is about. |

I see in a different thread that Volker says xorg-server-1.8 is not ready |
| 23 |
for Prime Time where drivers are concerned. I may try downgrading back |
| 24 |
to 1.7.nn tomorrow if I have some spare time. |
