Do you have a specific test case this fixes?  The kernel driver always
adds the common modes to LVDS connectors, so they should be there.

An artifact of Fedora trying to not build DRI1. It's a fix in the wrong
place, xserver should define the appropriate symbols if any DRI is
built.

Mostly a hack for LCDs that only claim one supported resolution and
desktop environments too chicken to let you set arbitrary modes from
the display control panel. Again, not really thrilled with the
implementation of it, might be better solved in another place.

"Required", no. Nice to have, arguably.

Hello!

There are two applicable patches within Fedora:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-ati.git/commit/fix-dri-removal.patch?id=d5f48e7d5b6c

Are these patches required, if so, care to explain?

[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-ati 7.9.0

2017-03-16 Thread Michel Dänzer 

I'm pleased to announce the 7.9.0 release of xf86-video-ati, the Xorg
driver for ATI/AMD Radeon GPUs supported by the radeon kernel driver.
This release supports xserver versions 1.10-1.19.

NOTE for packagers: Please ship the new 10-radeon.conf file in the same
package as radeon_drv.so.

Highlights:

* Allow TearFree to be toggled at runtime via an RandR output property
  "TearFree". The xorg.conf option "TearFree" now controls the default
  value of the output properties.
* Use glamor by default for 2D acceleration with >= R600 and Xorg >=
  1.18.3.
* Ship 10-radeon.conf xorg.conf.d snippet for Xorg >= 1.16, so that the
  radeon driver can be loaded automatically even when the ati wrapper
  driver isn't installed.
* Support loading the amdgpu driver from the ati wrapper driver.
* Use DRM render nodes for DRI3 clients when available.

Plus many other improvements and fixes. Thanks to everybody who
contributed to this release in any way!
