EnvyNG installs Ubuntu's lrm but it should install its own packages

In Intrepid final, those -envy packages should just be transitional packages to nvidia-glx-new, etc., and those should have proper Conflicts/Replaces. That way, a dist-upgrade to intrepid will go back to the l-r-m ones (which are current at that time), but we can update-envy packages again in intrepid-updates.

Please attach a debdiff for approval, I'll help you with sponsoring.

I set up a repository so that my new packages can be tested. You will have to add this line to your sources.list (opening the link in your browser won't work):
deb http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/my-repository binary/

I have also replaced the fglrx driver 8.3 with 8.4 since it solves a nasty bug. I only had to change a line of code (and to add the new AMD installer) in order to do this. This driver works well on my ATI X1600 pro.

The latest revision of envyng-core deals with such packages:
https://code.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/envy/envyng-core

I will upload the source code of the new drivers soon

Furthermore have changed the way in which EnvyNG checks the versions of the packages so that it asks python-apt about them. It's all in revision 49 of my bazaar branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/envy/envyng-core

I think I will have to rename the source code to linux-restricted-modules-envy so that it doesn't conflict with linux-restricted-modules

Here's the new source (I have modified only the changelog and control.stub.in as explained in my previous comment):

Furthermore I have solved a weird problem with Turkish locale in envyng-core.

I have updated envyng-core's list of card ids so as to solve this problem:

Accepted and NEWed into hardy-proposed multiverse. Please test and give feedback here.

Roger that.
Waiting to see release .29 in repos.

.29 accepted.

As you can read in the following link to his comment, the problem reported by Kame didn't depend on the lrm-envy:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/envyng-core/+bug/227717/comments/27

Furthermore a number of users have confirmed that the drivers work for them, not only in the following bugreport but also in private emails and on my blog:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/envyng-core/+bug/227717

Link to the comments to my blog post:

I think that the lrm-envy can be safely moved to stable and that we can close this bugreport.

Copied l-r-m-envy-2.6.24 to hardy-updates and intrepid.

Alberto:

I tested the new version with the GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i as you requested, and the behavior is still the same as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/envy/+bug/224004/comments/2 (using envyng to install the driver leaves the display in 800x600 resolution, even though if I run nVidia's installer directly the installed driver works correctly and I get the 1280x1024 resolution back again). I have to re-run the nVidia installer again periodically to keep up with Ubuntu kernel upgrades, so it would be nice to have the machine brought back into the Ubuntu/envy fold at some point.
