[Bug 244471] [NEW] Please backport xserver-xorg-video-ati from Intrepid to Hardy

[Miguel Martinez]

Public bug reported:

Current Hardy version:  1:6.8.0-1
Current Intrepid version: 1:6.9.0-1ubuntu1

I built it successfully on my Hardy system after downloading the source
and applying the patch from http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/intrepid
/xserver-xorg-video-ati. The main benefits are much improved EXA support
in r100/200 and initial EXA support in r300/400/500 hardware.
TexturedVideo is also supported now, and working hardware is expanded.
The patch applied also gives initial hw support to the recently released
Radeon 4850 card.

The full changelog is available here: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2008-June/000596.html

Caveats: Support for older pre-radeon cards has been dropped into a
separate driver. I'm not sure how this is handled by Intrepid.
