Public bug reported: Current Hardy version: 1:6.8.0-1 Current Intrepid version: 1:6.9.0-1ubuntu1
I built it successfully on my Hardy system after downloading the source and applying the patch from http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/intrepid /xserver-xorg-video-ati. The main benefits are much improved EXA support in r100/200 and initial EXA support in r300/400/500 hardware. TexturedVideo is also supported now, and working hardware is expanded. The patch applied also gives initial hw support to the recently released Radeon 4850 card. The full changelog is available here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2008-June/000596.html Caveats: Support for older pre-radeon cards has been dropped into a separate driver. I'm not sure how this is handled by Intrepid. ** Affects: hardy-backports Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Please backport xserver-xorg-video-ati from Intrepid to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backports Testing Team, which is subscribed to Hardy Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
