Nouveau - Feb 2009 - RAOF ppa failing to configure xf86-video-nouveau due to libdrm_nouveau

RAOF as noted on IRC earlier today ppa is currently failing to
configure xf86-video-nouveau;

`checking for LIBDRM_NOUVEAU... configure: error: Package requirements
(libdrm_nouveau) were not met: No package 'libdrm_nouveau' found`

Effects both 8.04 and 8.10.

First observed because updated drm without matching dri causes loss of
xv, NoAccel

Regards,

Mark Carey

Yeah you need to install libdrm_nouveau which can be found in drm git.
Most likely someone needs to ping the ubuntu people to update for
that, there's nothing we can do...
