Hi, recently I've tried the script createdump.sh and I have some suggestions: * it would be nice if the script is able to detect missing prerequisites and to suggest to install appropriate packages (as with cvs), namely - SDL-devel - libXvMC-devel (the names will differ from distro to distro, but it can make a good starting point; other ones come as dependencies, at least in my case) * it would be nice if the script is able to detect missing /usr/lib[64]/libXvMCNVIDIA.so and to suggest correction; see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FAQ#head-e93d5298a66baa16293c8bc0be05c9f08b0140e8 (note: on my system, the library is /usr/lib64/nvidia/libXvMCNVIDIA.so - no version in the name, but located within superfluous subdirectory) * using non-english locale, dialog displays localised strings for "Yes" and "No" so relying on the exact button labels within the text of messages looks at least very funny ... Regards, K.V.

I imagine that will not be part of the default installation on Redhat either? Greetings, -- Peter Bortas
