Hi, I sponsored it, even if the package increased its size for about 1MB. The patch was sane enough, a cherry-pick from later releases, and just a new tool added (I also melded both changelogs, to see if the new dependencies were carrying new hidden tools/flags). the package is now in unapproved queue https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247528 Title: Build and distribute intel-virtual-output Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.904 adds support for virtual displays that can be used to clone to discrete outputs. The tool to do this is included with the xserver-xorg-video-intel source (with not-so-great man page and all), but the binary is currently not shipped by Ubuntu trusty, despite being built. It is shipped in utopic and later. The tool will allocate a virtual output for the specified outputs on a different X server (or for all outputs with the -a parameter). It will also copy over resolution information etc from xrandr. You can then use your desktop environment's display tool to configure these external displays the way you would normally do in a non-hybrid situation. Since the trusty release is LTS, this bug qualifies for SRU status "to enable new hardware," or rather, newly supported at the time of the trusty release. [Test Case] 1) Install the package. 2) Attempt to execute /usr/bin/intel-virtual-output in a shell. [Regression Potential] Absolutely none. [Other Info] The intel-gpu-tools package is the only reverse dependency, and that package has no reverse dependencies in turn.
