Hi folks! We have some pretty big changes today, with an update to the latest
KDE SC 4.4.3, and the addition of support for ConsoleKit and PolicyKit which
have been enhanced to use shadow authentication. Thanks to Andrew Psaltis for
doing some great work on polkit-1, and to Robby Workman for spending months
following the sometimes random developments coming from the CK/PK camp.
Thanks to Eric Hameleers for leading the KDE 4.4.x Slackware development and
handling the out-of-tree testing through http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/.
And with that, we’re calling this Slackware 13.1 BETA1. A stable release
should be just around the corner…

a/loadlin-1.6c-i386-1.txz: Removed.
There’s still a copy in /kernels, so don’t worry. It’s even an update to
loadlin-1.6d, needed for recent kernels. But realistically, this utility
is no longer widely used enough to justify continuing to stuff a copy in
everyone’s /root directory by default.

This driver supports a video chipset used only on MIPS hardware.
x/xf86-video-nouveau-blacklist-noarch-1.txz: Added.
This is NOT the nouveau driver! It installs a file in /etc/modprobe.d/
to prevent the kernel module from autoloading. We don’t want the nouveau
loaded since we do not ship the nouveau driver (yet), and having the
module loaded prevents the nv and binary nVidia drivers from working.
x/xf86-video-xgixp-1.7.99.4-i486-1.txz: Removed.
This driver breaks X -configure and running X.Org without a config file.
