Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Advanced Micro Devices recently assigned two engineers to maintain the code of xf86-video-geode and the first tangible result of this was the recent release of version 2.11.9 of the driver, which fixes several rendering issues and code base regressions. Also, as a byproduct of fixing one rendering issue, the performance of the driver was greatly enhanced.
Some of the bugs closed by this release were found via the upstream Free Desktop Bugzilla, while others were found in distribution-
Thus, it would be desirable to push the Maverick 2.11.9-1 version of this package into all currently supported Ubuntu releases.
Test packages have already been built via my PPA. Building for Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid requires no modification.
Meanwhile, building for Hardy requires minor adjustments to Build-Depends and debian/rules. Comparing the Hardy and Lucid versions of the 2.11.9-1 package in my PPA shows how small the difference in packaging is.

PS: I will emphasize that this release introduces too many changes compared to the existing 2.11.8 releases and that producing such a patch would result in exactly the same as the upstream 2.11.9, minus the refreshed autoconf files.
