That makes sense. I thought the testing repository had some debug
stuff compiled in and of course it is less tested so I didn't want to
upgrade my full myth system to that. But I have had some slight
tearing issues with the 180.51 drivers so I have been waiting for an
update to the nvidia drivers. If it was straight forward I just wanted
to give the new ones a try, figuring it would be easy to roll back if
there were any issues. I guess I will have to decide if I want to go
with the testing repo or just wait until it is in the standard release
repo. Thanks for the info and for compiling and make this available.
