Description df 2012-05-12 18:35:49 UTC

as I stated in summary, it seems to be dead (404 Not Found). should it be changed to more reasonable URI?

thanks,


Reproducible: Always

I found this ebuild and thought of filing a bug for the broken link too!

Suggestion: Link to wayback machine?

Seems like this utility hasn't been updated since 2006. I'm not sure how useful it will be with the new Xorg that only uses KMS.

Yep, I strongly suspect it should just be removed.
