curaga,
Nice work on the new accelerated x server extensions.  I am using Xvesa right now.  Are you able to run the new X servers by only editing .xserverrc?  I am having to SUID root to get Xvesa to run as user dsl.  No big deal, though.  I just made the new Xvesa match the stock Xvesa in permissons:

# chmod u+s /opt/bin/Xvesa
# chmod g+s /opt/bin/Xvesa

Also, the md5sum does not seem to be on the download page yet and is not retrievable through MyDSL.  But anyway, works well.

Oh. Forgot about that. Should I add a suid bit instruction to all the info files?

Shouldn't you add those permissions in the package itself?

Anyways, I'm curious as to what the differences between the Xvesa server included in DSL and this one.  So far I've gathered that the testing one is 4.6.0 and that it supports changing refresh rates... what about the size or performance?

I suppose size is a couple of kb's larger, and performance the same or better (newer drivers...)
I'll go fix those packages now. I think it would be good to upgrade Xvesa and Xfbdev in DSL to these, it would end those 'how do I change the refresh rate' type posts. And also be better to the eyes than 60Hz on crt's....

About size:
in DSL:
Xvesa          626 kb
Xfbdev         604 kb

in my extensions:
Xvesa          718 kb
Xfbdev         698 kb

And the new Xvesa upx'd: 325 kb
