If the drm2.symbols file is to be trusted, drmGetDeviceNameFromFd was added in 2.4.16. > I don't know that it should depend on libdrm2 >= 2.4.26, but I _do_ > know that >= 2.4.3 is not sufficient. Except that libdrm-nouveau1a does not reference drmGetDeviceNameFromFd anywhere. The DDX driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau) does, however. But for some reason this package does not depend on libdrm2 at all, although /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so is linked against libdrm.so.2.
