xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.4-1gutsy1) gutsy; urgency=medium

  * Reverted 2.7.7.2-2 debian/control changes to produce Gutsy package.

xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    [GX][LX] PreInit fixes to avoid segfaults on X -configure.

    This is known to work on products with GeodeROM and Insyde BIOSes.

    On products with a General Software BIOS, a freeze occurs while X
    is probing VBE. The same issue occurs with LinuxBIOS and VGAROM,
    but not with LinuxBIOS omitting VGAROM.

    Both issues appear to be caused by X server core upgrading from
    vm86 to x86emu since X server release 1.3, which requires fixing
    x86emu, or the concerned BIOSes, or both.

xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bumped Build-Depends to X server 1.4 core as follow:
    + xserver-xorg-dev (>= 1:1.1.1) to (>= 2:1.4).
    + x11proto-randr-dev (no version) to (>= 1.2).
  * Bumped binary target Provides correspondingly as follow:
    xserver-xorg-video-1.0 to xserver-xorg-video-2.
  * Above changes break compatibility with Debian/Etch and Ubuntu/Gutsy,
    but restore ABI/API compatibility with X.org 7.3 (Closes: #443285).

xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.

xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    This is the first official upstream release to come out of GIT.
    Many thanks go to AMD's Jordan Crouse and to other OLPC developers
    for making this release happen.
