Switch back to XAA is bad because: 1) Ubuntu users will be deprived of textured video and power saving (by the way of fb compression) for a year¹ 2) XAA is basically deprecated and its bugs are fixed as second priority. Do you want to release LTS with driver abandoned by upstream?
¹ textured video was disabled on intel driver shipped in 7.10. EXA will be disabled in 8.04. This way Ubuntu users will get those features no sooner than 8.10. -- EXA is balls-achingly slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
