package xserver-xorg-video-ast-hwe-16.04 missing

[Martin]

There is no xserver-xorg-video-ast-hwe-16.04 package. So i can not use the ASpeed graphics for output anymore. I needed the hwe for the GTX 1060 nouveau driver.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

why on earth would you need that for nvidia hardware?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

besides, the driver has been removed from the archive since xenial which would explain why there's no -hwe-16.04

Well, the GTX 1060 nouveau driver does only work with hwe
And the aspeed vga is useful for another monitor, since it is on the board and another monitor for output is/was needed.

But when the "solution" is "driver removed" (why?), then lets switch to windows, which supports it. :)
