randr under nv

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

hi,

I've just purchased a dell 1905fp, which supports screen rotation. I use
a nvidia GeForce 4 MX440-based mideo card, with the nv driver, and run a
sid system (a little out od date, but I've just updated to xorg 6.9).
I'm just beginning to explore randr, and looking through the
documentation it seems as though the nvidia drivers support randr, but
the current nv driver doesn't -- at least, that's the best I can gather
(packages.debian.org is down, so I can't get changelog information).  I
see an upstream bug report here
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4708) that seems to show a
patched nv driver available in upstream.  Can anyone guide me on e.g.
installing just the updated nv driver, or whatever else needs to be done
to enable randr? I'm hardly an x developer, and am exceedingly loathe to
mess with my otherwise perfectly functioning x setup.

thanks,
matt
