I have some good news, since (after fixing #568162) I indeed managed to build a working package. At least X has been running for about two hours which is a promising start. :-) >> > The libdrm bits are just a detail after that. >> >> So?

Yes, it was just a matter of copying their patch which reverts the ABI changes and doing some Ediff runs in Emacs to enable the libdrm-nouveau* packages. > If you want access to pkg-xorg git to push your work there, just ask. I think I don't want to trample over any of your existing branches yet, so I would prefer to use a new branch, or publish my work on my joachim-guest account on Alioth where you can pull from at your leisure. I'm not sure how to do the merge. While merging upstream-ubuntu into upstream-experimental is a trivial fast-forward, and merging upstream-experimental into debian-experimental is also a no-brainer, merging ubuntu into debian-experimental resulted in quite a few things that needed to be backed out; for instance their patch 02_nouveau_bgnr leads to FTBFS on Debian, and I'm not sure you want all the Ubuntu history in debian/changelog either. So it might be better to "merge --squash" that branch, since otherwise we might create problems for Ubuntu (in their later merges) if we revert many of their actions. What do you think?
