It's a problem with the annonymous CVS-mirror, and the mirror maintainer
seems to be on vacation or something.
The daily snapshots at the FTP-site should be correct though.
Chris, how about making your script to correct the x bit available
on the WWW and FTP sites?

I assume you mean the -m486 option? Yes, that should not be there!

Yes, I know. This will be fixed.
However it will be very tricky to parse the
/proc/bus/pci/devices file in a decent way (espcially if we want
support for detecting multiple cards) with /bin/sh.
Any objections to using perl for the autodetect scripts?

Well, could it be that you're using a vger kernel? ;)

Shouldn't be neccesary. Did you create the symlink from
.../linux/include/kgi to .../degas/kgicon/include ?
