Bug Description

In order to drop the nouveau-firmware package & make acceleration work out of the box on GeForce 8 & newer hardware we want to incorporate upstream's new ctxprog generator.

The attached debdiff pulls the nouveau changes from 2.6.33-rc7 to 2.6.33; this includes a fix for bug #525273 and cherry-picks the two relevant commits from upstream's git.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6 repository.

While I'm there, it also fixes the package description of lbm-nouveau, adds a conflicts/replaces against nouveau-kernel-source to make upgrades work properly, and fixes the VCS-git line.

Debdiff against 2.6.32-14.3 Edit (132.9 KiB, text/plain)

Here's a debdiff against the current lbm-2.6.32-14.3, as I am unable to clone the lbm git repository.
