Hi,
[ Reason ]
We'd like to get modesetting_drv.so back into the udeb, which is helpful
to get a working graphical installer in some hypervisor setups (at
least). It was present in bullseye, but got dropped at the very
beginning of the bookworm release cycle, as a side-effect of build
system changes upstream.
For context, that's the one video driver that's shipped directly into
xserver-xorg-core, while other drivers are shipped in their own
xserver-xorg-video-*. We'd like to get back to this situation on the
udeb side as well.
[ Impact ]
Losing graphical installer support in some cases.
[ Tests ]
Keith, the bug submitter, tested this change with custom-built d-i
images (on two architectures, amd64 and arm64) before it was submitted
to the X team, who ACK'd it. We have a bunch of tests running inside KVM
and friends, confirming having both modesetting_drv.so and fbdev_drv.so
(the latter being shipped in its own udeb) is working fine.
(Keith X-D-Cc'd to let them know what happens during a freeze.)
[ Risks ]
The X server is a critical package, but the only change is a configure
flag for the udeb only (there are two separate builds)
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
Thanks for your time!
unblock xorg-server/2:21.1.7-3
Cheers,
