Public bug reported:
As of release 2.8.0, xserver-xorg-video-amd is superseded by xserver-
xorg-video-geode, which is now sitting in NEW at Debian. The Debian
ChangeLog content:
xserver-xorg-video-geode (2.8.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
"Welcome to xf86-video-geode!"
+ Renaming of the xf86-video-amd driver to xf86-video-geode driver.
+ Whitespace cleanup in the GX driver.
* Renamed every Debian packaging file and script imaginable to match.
* Created dummy transitional packages to faciliate upgrades from AMD.
* Bumped Build-Depends on dpkg-dev to 1.14.16 for xs-vcs warning.
xserver-xorg-video-amd (2.7.7.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
"xf86-video-amd is dead - long live xf86-video-geode!"
This is the last upstream release as "amd"; future releases will
be named "geode" to remove confusion with former ATI products. A
transitional mechanism exists to make this driver recognize when
it is being called under either name to facilitate upgrades.
+ Add the "geode" driver name in preparation for the renaming.
+ Fix panel and DDC interation with GX (Closes: #472206).
+ Add support for wide and non-standard resolutions.
+ Fix a compile error in < 1.5 builds.
+ Fix Gamma initialization.
+ Add libpciaccess support.
*****
It would be desirable to get this release into Hardy, to avoid dragging
a transitional package for the next 2 years until the next LTS release
comes out. Differences between this and the 2.7.7.7 release recently
imported from Debian are minimal; mostly white space cleanups and a
package name change in configure.ac and in documentation files.
