Thanks for that information. I'll accept that they've restored it, but 
my criticism stands: why was it changed in the first place? It's 
hypothetical now, as I've removed the offending package(s) and I'm 
trying to install the real thing, not with any ease. rpm apparently 
won't accept wildcards for an install, and yum bombs out after 
complaining that one of the packages isn't signed!

Having used 'alien' to convert the rpms to debs, and having installed 
the resulting packages on Debian sarge with absolutely no trouble, you 
will understand my frustration:-) If I was able to get Debian to work 
with my ATI Radeon X700 card, the solution would be obvious.
