For the first, go ask people, you could subscribe (send mail to majordomo@vger-rutgers.edu with on line of 'help' in the message body) and send a call for testers mail to linux-svgalib@vger-rutgers.edu. You might post a query for testers to linux-announce newsgroup as well. (This is what I did). Also, if the first version of svgalib with your sources is out, people with problems will mail you anyway ;-) . For the latter thing, mail me the driver. Best of all: Get my latest snapshot from http://www.uni-essen.de/~mat42b (please keep that URL secret, that site cannot stand massive downloads from many people), incorporate your driver in these sources (they are virutally identical to 1.2.13) (this avoids me doing it instead of you w/o any knowledge about your card and drivers). Then, unpack the original sources you got from me in another dir and mail me the output of: diff -crN <orignal source base dir> <your modified source base dir>. Well, probably gzip it to conserve bandwidth and ensure integral transmission of the data. I'll then join it with my sources and redistribute it with the next release. Thanx for your contribution!
