As I have previously commented, the geode driver is NOT obsolete.  It
should not be removed at Debian, where i386 is still 686 without PAE.

Please ammend the Debian bug report accordingly.

> Bug description:
>   xserver-xorg-video-all has not depended on these drivers for quite
>   some time now, meaning that installation images didn't have them
>   either nor installed them on the system. Now would be the time to drop
>   them from the archive before next LTS & HWE-18.04 stack and in
>   preparation for xserver 1.20.

>   Some rationale in detail for future reference:
>   input:
>   -aiptek: no upstream release in 7 years
>   -elographics: no upstream release in 6 years
>   -evdev: replaced by -libinput (not entirely, see comment #1)
>   -keyboard: replaced by -libinput
>   -mtrack: no upstream release in 3 years, should be replaceable by -libinput by now
>   -mouse: replaced by -libinput
>   -mutouch: no upstream release in 7 years
>   -void: xserver can start without an input driver these days
>   -xwiimote: no upstream release in 5 years
>   video:
>   -ast: no upstream release in 3 years, no KMS support
>   -geode: i386 only, no kernel support since moving to i586 (or i686?)
>   -mach64: no KMS support
>   -neomagic: no upstream release in 3 years, no KMS support
>   -r128: no KMS support
>   -savage: no KMS support
>   -siliconmotion: no KMS suppport
>   -sisusb: no KMS support
>   -tdfx: no KMS support
>   -trident: no KMS support
>
>   Fedora dropped drivers without KMS (kernel modesetting) support five years ago:
>   https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-August/188429.html
>
>   one exception to this is -openchrome, which we'll keep since it has
>   some users and might even get KMS support before next LTS.
