This version of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is linked against a newer libdrm-nouveau which breaks the ABI and is not compatible with kernels <= 2.6.33. You need to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.34-rc1 or newer. -- Sven Joachim <[email protected]> Sat, 22 May 2010 10:22:42 +0200 That should show up automatically on package installation if you have apt-listchanges installed (which you really should).
