Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-geode
Advanced Micro Devices recently assigned two engineers to maintain the
code of xf86-video-geode and the first tangible result of this was the
recent release of version 2.11.9 of the driver, which fixes several
rendering issues and code base regressions. Also, as a byproduct of
fixing one rendering issue, the performance of the driver was greatly
enhanced.
Some of the bugs closed by this release were found via the upstream Free
Desktop Bugzilla, while others were found in distribution-specific bug
trackers at Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu. Other issues still were
discovered and fixed in the process of fixing those aforementioned bugs.
More details can be found in the upstream ChangeLog.
Thus, it would be desirable to push the Maverick 2.11.9-1 version of
this package into all currently supported Ubuntu releases.
Test packages have already been built via my PPA. Building for
Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid requires no modification.
Meanwhile, building for Hardy requires minor adjustments to Build-
Depends and debian/rules. Comparing the Hardy and Lucid versions of the
2.11.9-1 package in my PPA shows how small the difference in packaging
is.
