While this is true, it could generates various FTBFS bugs because of
missing features/options.

Another point against portability is that if the Glamo chipset needs an
ARM SoC to work, then the X.Org driver itself is useless on anything bug
armel.  This is what I have understood (as a profane) from:

Anyway, your reply arrived a bit too late:

  http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/xf86-video-glamo.git;a=commitdiff;h=993fcc586722383139a6d24e635f84ca2ccb78fa

I will be glad to revert the above commit if more complaints arrive
before the package is uploaded to NEW :-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
