Patch to configure.ac to check libudev version >= 142

It appears that at least version 142 of udev is required to properly support the recently added uevent code. Haven't tested with 142 because I don't want to mess up my distro Fedora 11. This only has 141. However, everything is usable if the driver thinks you don't have udev at all. Hence the attached patch.

Best Wishes,

Bob Gleitsmann

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
