libdrm2 (2.4.12-1)

[Matt & Diane <olson9604@bellsouth.net>]

Don't know enough to know whether this is a bug or not.

OS             : Debian Testing
Kernel         : 2.6.30-1-amd64 (Debian 2.5.30-5)
X.Org X-server : 1.4.2 (Debian xorg-server 2:1.4.2-11)
Video Driver   : ATI Catalyst proprietary driver 9.8

Installed Catalyst driver via ATI's installer.
fglrx loaded and X came up but no 2-D acceleration (i.e. scrolling, 
window movement, etc. was so slow and choppy as to be unusable).

The first indication of a problem in Xorg.0.log was the following :

       drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
       drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID PCI:1:0:0
       drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
       drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1

drmOpenByBusid never finds a valid node, so no drm and no dri.

After investigating a bit, I reverted libdrm2 from version 2.4.12-1 to 
2.3.1-2 which has fixed the problem.
