Two's up on that. My video card is one of the few that doesn't require
proprietary drivers, however its DRI has been broken in Debian testing for
the last few months and the fix has been a long time coming. It would have
been very annoying to not to have been able to join in the fun. Fortunately,
I am getting an idea of what Bristol can do, albeit with a few problems,
which I'll go into when I've had time to investigate properly. Now I'm really
looking forward to the possible development of a virtual Synthi size A.
