Bug Description

This is a request to backport xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.11.0-1 from Jaunty into Hardy-backports.

Benefits:

* General bugfixes (cleaner pointer handling, fixed EXA support, removal of deprecated includes).
* Better support for the OLPC XO-1, including XO-specific fixes.
* Better support for some legacy Geode hardware.
* RandR support upgraded to version 1.2 features.

Those are desirable features for building a solid Hardy-based distributions for the OLPC XO-1 and for better supporting GX2/CS5535-based Geode platforms.

The Ubuntu source package from Jaunty builds fine as-is using Hardy dependencies.

Actually, can we upgrade this request to backport 2.11.3-1 instead? It's strictly a bugfix maintenance release also.
