Hello,
It may have escaped a lot of peoples attention, but the Amiga AGA
chipset support for X servers seemed to go out the window with Debian
Woody, i.e. seems to be completely broken.
Yet no-one seems to be interested in repairing it..
Is anyone up to the challenge? My programming skills aren't up to it,
but I really want to see a modern X server again on my Amiga
(hopefully in Sarge..), not that old equipment seems to be of high
priority anymore :(
I know the AGA chipset is old hat, but it seems silly to leave it
broken. Does it highlight a lack of backwards compatibility in the
direction that the X server development has taken?
Why compile for m68k in the first place if it isn't worth testing?
