Changelog

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Sven Joachim ]
  * New upstream snapshot.
    - Fixes sluggish rendering of X core fonts (Closes: #614938).
    - Better support for NVC0 (aka Fermi) cards. Linux 2.6.38 and not readily
      available firmware is required for acceleration, see README.Debian.
    - Bump build-dependency on libdrm-dev to (>= 2.4.24) due to
      libdrm-nouveau API changes.
  * Drop patch 03_work-around-exa-hangs.patch.  Affected users should upgrade
    their kernel to 2.6.36 or newer.
  * Update README.Debian:
    - Former nvidia-glx users should remove the libgl{1,x}-nvidia-alternatives
      packages which divert the Mesa/Xorg files in Squeeze and later.
    - Drop vga16fb from the list of incompatible drivers, KMS handover should
      work as of Linux 2.6.35.
    - Don't mention nv anymore, it has been removed from Debian.
  * Drop unnecessary leading asterisk from NEWS.Debian.
  * Drop the sample xorg.conf, no longer needed.
  * Build against Xserver 1.9.
