Re: How do fixes/improvements to video drivers get rolled out in Squeeze?
Mark mamarcac at gmail.com writes: Hi,The Intel 855GM chipset performance has unfortunately taken a step or two backwards from Lenny to Squeeze based on my experience and what I've read in the bug reports and various forums. Specifically, on-line video streaming becomes choppy after 3-4 minutes on the same websites that Lenny had no trouble with. That being said, how does performance get improved within a given stable release? Can I hope for an update to help improve it at some point within the life of Squeeze?Thank you.

Can I hope for an update to help improve it at some point within the life of Squeeze? From http://release.debian.org/: Suite update policy stable Fast response for security updates. Minor updates include security and other important fixes only. Major updates are sourced from testing, and are infrequent, but large. Major updates is something like Lenny - Squeeze. Minor Update is something like 6.0.0 - 6.0.1 a.k.a. a point release where the codename does not change. It's not clear (to me) that important in the above corresponds directly to bug severities, but one of those severities is called important so FYI: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities. Also, here's more detail about what is considered an RC bug for Squeeze: http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The stable branch (now Squeeze) once released is not targeted to get many improvements but bug fixes so don't expect a bunch of updates to correct non critical errors. Anyway, you can take a look at the changelog to get a better idea of the patches that have been already applied, if any: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.13.0-6/changelog Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
