OoO Vers la fin de l'après-midi du dimanche 11 mai 2008, vers 16:42, je disais: >>> nouveau needs an up-to-date mesa (7.3.0) that we already have in >>> Debian.

Current git snapshot need more recent libdrm. To summarize, to push xserver-xorg-video-nouveau into experimental, we need: - libdrm git snapshot - mesa git snapshot Moreover, libdrm git snapshot will generate a module source package that will generate nouveau.ko and drm.ko. The latest one is incompatible with the one in current Debian kernel (2.6.25) and will override it. At least, they need to be kept in sync as long as nouveau is not releasing. This seems a bit too much even for experimental. Maybe things will get settled when a new libdrm will be released. -- BOFH excuse #151: Some one needed the powerstrip, so they pulled the switch plug.
