Bug#494755: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: No source for linux-nouveau-modules

[Tom Parker]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.10~git+20080706+b1f3169-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau requires linux-nouveau-modules. AFAIK (and
I've looked at incoming and the NEW queue) I have no idea where to find/build
this package, thus making the nouveau module unusable... If I'm missing
something obvious, then maybe the nouveau driver should recommend the
relevant other package (similarly to the nvidia-glx package and kernel
modules) to avoid confusing others.

Thanks,

Tom Parker

You need to install the drm-modules-source package, and build modules
for your kernel using module-assistant.  That will build a package which
provides linux-nouveau-modules.
