Thanks for the advice. I have had an experience, though, with a stable kernel maintainer who wanted the submitted patches to apply with no manual effort, not even trivial context changes. The patch in question wouldn't apply to 3.5.7.y without context changes, so I wanted to be safe. BTW, is this patch relevant for kernels 3.4 and older? The linked bugzillas gave me the impression that the bugs addressed by this commit have only been witnessed in kernels 3.5 and later, and of those, it appears that only 3.7 is maintained on kernel.org. (3.5.7.y comes from Ubuntu's "extended longterm kernel" effort). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094173 Title: compiz terminates with "intel_do_flush_locked failed: Device or resource busy" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1094173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
