<pre>
deb http://debian.sur5r.net/i3/ karmic universe

<h2>Downloads</h2>
<p>
The current stable version is 3.ε-bf1 (transcribed 3.e-bf1 because many systems still can’t
handle UTF-8 in version numbers).
</p>
<p>
<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> If you use the nVidia binary driver (which does
not support XRandR at the moment), read <a
href="/docs/multi-monitor.html">this document</a> for an explanation and how
to enable the work-around!
