Re: RC6 (and later)

2024-03-16 Thread Michael Cheponis
I am not on the Release Team or involved except as a user --- however, I
greatly approve of _RC6 release, AND the additional time it will take for
people to beat on it before it becomes the 10.0 release.

We have more hardware to properly work on now (just for starters, all RPi
up to 4 at least), etc, and many new chips for old arches (e.g. N200 for
amd64) so when you look at the growing complexity, it makes sense to keep
testing by as large a group as possible before 'release'.

After all, when it comes right down to it, the Release is just a Number.
 Who cares what the number is -- it is the set of Stable Features that are
of interest.

I would encourage all to d/l _RC6 and bang on it, like I'm doing.

Thanks,
Mike

What video card?   nVideo?


No, it is i915, from dmsg:

i915drmkms0 at pci0 dev 2 function 0: Intel Sandy Bridge
(mobile) GT2+ Integrated Graphics Device (rev. 0x09)

This is the PR I created:

https://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=57387

but I am toying with creating a new one and asking that one
to be closed.  Also the issue happens on the Laptop screen.

But with RC5, the corruption will go away once the heavy
process ends.  So I will see if the issue occurs on RC6
and maybe create a new PR if it does.

I am fine with this :) I have a very minor video issue with
X on 10 and each RC the issue gets better. (PR was created)

With RC5, the issue hardly ever occurs, hoping with RC6 maybe
it is gone :)

This is on a Thinkpad T420.
