  Hi Julien et al.
  
  I tested with an Asus UX31A (Ivybridge Mobile GT2, eDP1 display), using
  2D and 3D drivers from Wheezy (respectively versions 2.19.0-6 and
  8.0.5-3).
  
  On the DE side, I used GNOME Shell and Cinnamon (both need 3D
  acceleration).
  
  On the kernel side, I used:
  
  i915.i915_enable_rc6={0, 1, 3} → no issue (don't know if it worth to
  test RC6pp)
  
  i915.semaphores=1 → ditto
  
  In order to stress the GPU, I played some video bits in 1080p mostly
  using VAAPI, played video games (native and emulated), and the usual
  glxgear to see if all went well, and that's a *success*, the kernel is
  pretty stable (contrary to the raw 3.2 series which causes some
  freezes on this system, but that's another story I need to
  investigate ;-)).
  
  Voilà, to me this kernel is in really good shape, so thank you Julien
  for backporting this stuff!
  
  TODO:
  - Testing VGA and HDMI outputs

I tested the HDMI output on two external screens (TV and 'standard'
display). Suspending/resuming with external display attached shows no
regressions, as well as sound through HDMI, which is handled by
'drm/i915' IIRC.

To conclude, those 'HDMI output' tests have shown neither new bugs nor
regressions (at least on my system). 

Cheers,
Vincent

 Hi,
 
 Finally had time to test those old cards, as expected absolutely all
 went well.
 
 Concerned devices:
 
 $ lspci -nnv | grep VGA
 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
 nee ATI R430 [Radeon X800 XL] (PCIe) [1002:554d] (prog-if 00 [VGA
 controller])
 
 $ lspci -nnv | grep VGA
 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G73
 [GeForce 7600 GS] [10de:0392] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
 
 libdrm, 2D and 3D drivers from Wheezy.
 
 Tested using glxgear, playing 720p videos (with Xvideo and Opengl video
 output), playing some basic games, google earth…
 
 Cheers,
 Vincent

  PS: By the way if Greg KH tags a new longterm kernel, will there be a
  chance to see the DRM subsystem backported in Wheezy or that's
  definitely too invasive and we'll stay with 3.4 (I don't have any issue
  with that, I'm just curious).
