[Impact] * Fixes crash when using SNA with fglrx IGPU mode. * Adds UXA support for broadwell.
[Test Case] * On an affected system: * Run aticonfig --px-igpu to force intel driver being used. * Disable gpu-manager, set accelmethod in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to UXA or SNA * SNA: Observe a crash in freescreen, while a normal xserver with full acceleration is expected. * UXA (default): xserver starts normally, but llvmpipe is used and no acceleration is used in intel at all. [Regression Potential] * Adding pci-id and names for broadwell and crv should always be safe, no regressions expected there. * The uxa patches seem to be a noop for < gen8, which means I don't expect any regressions either. * The sna-freescreen patch can not make things worse, because if sna is NULL the next statement would already crash, so in the worst case intel would crash elsewhere. * I'll watch for regressions in -proposed, but I don't expect any from them because those patches are in utopic too. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359105 Title: broadwell bugs with fglrx in xserver-xorg-video-intel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1359105/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
