I'm running 2.6.22.19. And I'm running xorg-server-1.3.0.0. I would
like to upgrade both, but I'm expecting nVidia to break, so I'm not
trying. They have an older legacy driver that they have updated, so I
may try falling back to that, and then upgrading.
I'm also thinking about getting a new system. I want to continue to
have 1080i output without deinterlacing, and AGP won't be an option
anymore. Do the the Radeon or Intel drivers handle this correctly?
