Why not just do a check on the model number? Seeing as the lockups are caused on hardware R300 and newer, we can at least whitelist R200's, as that driver hasn't changed significantly since it was written under NDA-released specs (exa and xrandr1.3 being the biggest recent ones. i believe modesetting and ttm are on the way)
Meanwhile, R300 is being improved all the time, especially with AMD releasing the specs for it. Moreover, I puzzled at how this can be called an LTS release if you can't take in an updated video driver that would stabilize the system and move them away from proprietary drivers. I can understand not taking in new code because of instability, but all upstream driver releases to date have been relatively safe drop-ins to the current distribution version (only had one suspend problem). At the very least, it has to make it into backports. -- [regression] need to whitelist multiple ATI cards, or remove blacklisting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201330 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
