Quoting Bryce Harrington <br...@bryceharrington.org>: > > [This is an automatic notice.] > > We'd like to forward your bug upstream, however upstream requires > that you first test it against their newer driver code. > > To save you the effort of building the driver from source, we've built > packages for the driver and its new dependencies. > > So you have a couple options: > > 1. Download and test .debs for intrepid, from: > https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive > > -or- > > 2. Download and test the Jaunty alpha-2 (or newer) Live CD, > (which includes a beta of the new xserver 1.6 as well). > See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ for ISOs > > > Thanks ahead of time! You can simply reply to this email to report your > findings. > > > P.S., if you wish to forward your bug upstream yourself, please follow > these directions to do so: > http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html > > > ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) > Status: Triaged => Incomplete > > -- > [g45] Solid white screen that fades when using INTEL video driver on X4500MHD > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268036 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed > Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel > > Intrepid Ibex Alpha 5.
