[Xorg-driver-geode] [ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-geode 2.11.3

[Justin Smith]

Thanks Martin-Eric,

I will try the approach you have suggested for debuild. I just wanted
to give quick feedback on the release, as I found the following issues
that have been lingering for a while.

1. If I am playing a video in 24 bit color depth, then I keep getting
errors on screen related to BadAlloc. This issue has been 11.x - which
is why I am still on 2.10.x driver.

2. I am able to get the video to play in 16 bit color depth, but then
I start seeing tearing effects on videos.

Does anybody have some insight on where these issues might be, and
maybe create a patch for this?

Thanks.

Justin
