Bug Description

Please sync xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.10.1-3 (main) from Debian experimental (main).

Changelog since current intrepid version 2.10.0-6:

xserver-xorg-video-geode (2.10.1-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Reintroduced debian/control and debian/rules changes from 2.10.1-1
    and uploaded to experimental.
  * Reintroduced Build-Depends on X core to >= 2:1.4.99 until Lenny.

xserver-xorg-video-geode (2.10.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Reverted debian/control and debian/rules changes to 2.10.0-4 status,
    as requested by Release Management team, for inclusion in Lenny.

xserver-xorg-video-geode (2.10.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    "Added info about the current roadmap."
    "Geode: Add DDC support for the CS5535"
    "lx: Fix rotate issue"
  * Transitioned debian/control to XSF dependency versioning files.
    This breaks backportability for Debian/Etch and Ubuntu/Gutsy, but
    it makes bin-NMU and a whole bunch of other things MUCH easier.

+1 from me. Don't think this needs anything special - should be just a straight sync.

I also nominate this 2.10.1 release as an SRU for Hardy:

1) What it fixes:

* it fixes DDC support for Geode platforms with a CS5535 bridge.
* it introduces complete and final support for the OLPC XO-1.
* it fixes various non-critical bugs.

Secondarily, the updated Debian packaging ought to be imported as well, as it cleans up several deficiencies of the deprecated packaging still present in Hardy.

2) The impact on users:

* DDC probing will finally work as expected on GX2 platforms with a CS5535 bridge.
* Users who wish to transition their OLPC from Debian to Ubuntu can finally do so.
* Several annoyances reported by users here and on other BTS will be solved.

The 2.10 branch of this driver doesn't introduce any regression that we know of. Rather, it fixes regressions introduced in 2.9.0 instead.

3) How the bug was addressed in Intrepid:

* Automated synchronization from Debian/unstable.

4) A minimal patch to be applied to the stable version.

* I'm wondering if importing 2.10.1-3 directly into Hardy might be a more sensible approach?

5) How to reproduce the bug:

* Launch X on GX2 hardware with a CS5535 bridge. See DDC probing fail and X exit.

* Launch X on an OLPC. Notice that DCON support is missing, which breaks OLPC-specific DPMS implementation.

6) How the patch may introduce a regression and its impact:

This new upstream is a bugfix release. We do not foresee any regression.

PS: introducing 2.10.1-3 as an SRU for Hardy would also fix LP 255991.
