Bug#544902: libdrm2 : /dev/dri not created

[Matt Olson <xbluwatertar@gmail.com>]

Package:  libdrm2
Version  :  2.4.12-1

O.S.   : Debian Testing
Kernel : 2.6.30-1-amd64

After upgrading libdrm2 from version 2.3.1-2 to version 2.4.12-1, udev does not create /dev/dri. 

I am using ATI's Catalyst 9.8 driver for linux AMD64  (which gets loaded).

(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
    compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.64.3
    Module class: X.Org Video Driver

The dri module also loads :

 Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) Module dri: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
    compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 1.0.0
    ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI

Reverting to libdrm2 2.3.1-2 fixes the problem.

Thank you,
