The main reason is consistency. Tags are useful because bug reports with a similar property gets the same tag. In this case, there are several other bug reports with the 965gm tag and none with gm965, and it is nice to click on the 965gm tag and get a list of currently open bugs reported on 965GM. The idea would be to see which tags are used, and use them instaed of inventing new and similar ones [1]. But I agree that it is a bit confusing which tag to use for a given chipset. I "standardized" on 965gm more than half a year ago when there were a few bug reports with each (and similar for other chipsets). The main reason for using 965gm is that this is what the chipset is called in the intel driver. In Xorg.0.log you will see the line (--) intel(0): Chipset: "965GM" and when I was cleaning up the tag structure half a year ago I found that it was most consistent to use this line as a tag name where possible (some of those are too long or have invalid tag characters). The list of what can end up on this line can be found in the source code: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/tree/src/i830_driver.c . The currently used tags for X are listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Tagging . Grepping for GM965 in the source code gives no hits. I have no idea why it is this way, but I think it is easier to use what the log files say than what it says on the package. [1]: When I started to standardize the tags, the list of bugs would show all tags used for a package along with the number of bug reports with that tag. While this was problematic since the list would be a mile long when the list was for all ubuntu bugs, it was very useful as a suggestion for what tags to put on a bug report. -- xorg deadlocked after screen fades to black https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395855 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
