I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 and the release notes include "In an effort to support a wider variety of hardware on an existing LTS release, the 14.04.2 point release will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. This newer hardware enablement stack will be comprised of the kernel and X stack from the Utopic 14.10 release. "
I was able to build and use the patch on my Xubuntu 14.04 system, but I get errors following the instructions on Ubuntu 14.04.2. "sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server" gives me: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libegl1-mesa : Depends: libgbm1 (>= 7.11~1) but it is not going to be installed libqt5gui5 : Depends: libgbm1 (>= 8.1~0) but it is not going to be installed If I download xorg-server-source, that's the 1.15.1 version and it doesn't match what I'm running (1.16.0), right? I tried downloading the xorg-server-source-lts-utopic package, but it won't build. "sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary" gives me: debian/rules:17: /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/quilt/quilt.make'. Stop. I tried adding the PPA using utopic main and when I selected the xorg- common package from it, it appeared it was going to uninstall dozens of packages, so I didn't proceed with that. How do I get this working on 14.04.2? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220426 Title: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad Status in X.Org X server: Fix Released Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Using Asus N43SL laptop as an example, with nvidia-prime installed, so the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card (GT 540m) is in use, once in a while, my screen will freeze when I use my touchpad.
