rebasing to v3.15 would need too many backports to core drm so that plan was scrapped, use the last i915 tag for v3.15 that doesn't pull core drm work
** Summary changed: - Rebase Broadwell graphics support to v3.15 + Rebase Broadwell graphics support to drm-intel-next-2014-03-07 ** Description changed: i915_bdw driver module in the trusty kernel is currently based on v3.14+backports, but it has turned out to be insufficient on real systems causing system freezes and/or GPU hangs with certain workloads. Some issues have been worked around but they trigger other bugs, and backporting bisected fixes dind't fix them on this branch. - Rebasing the driver to v3.15 brings a lot of fixes and a better platform - for future work. + Rebasing the driver to the latest tag from i915 upstream that doesn't + include changes to core drm, plus additional fixes, should provide a + better driver for the initial broadwell enablement. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321729 Title: Rebase Broadwell graphics support to drm-intel-next-2014-03-07 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: In Progress Bug description: i915_bdw driver module in the trusty kernel is currently based on v3.14+backports, but it has turned out to be insufficient on real systems causing system freezes and/or GPU hangs with certain workloads.
