Comment 7 for bug 197069

2.7.7.7 has been uploaded to Debian and awaits sync:

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.
