** Description changed: + Trusty (and Utopic) SRU Request: + + [Impact] + + * Set higher priority of glxinfo's result then Xorg's log for "Details" + -> "Overview" -> "Graphics" info in Unity Control Center. + + [Test Case] + + * System with glxinfo installed (in mesa-utils) will show glxinfo's + result first for "Details" -> "Overview" -> "Graphics" info in Unity + Control Center. + + * System without glxinfo will still parse Xorg's log for "Details" -> + "Overview" -> "Graphics" info in Unity Control Center. + + [Regression Potential] + + * Should be minimal, the info showed in glxinfo is more accurate. + + [Original Bug Info] + In some of OEM's AMD platforms, open "System setting"->"Details"->"Graphics" from control center, find the Graphics Driver show VESA: XXXXXX strings , not as accurate as what glxinfo -l | grep "OpenGL renderer string" shows. The "VESA:XXXX" string displayed in "System Settings-->Details->Graphics" was because unity-control-center will find the driver information via: (1) parse /var/log/Xorg.0.log and find "VESA VBE OEM Product:" String (2) if (1) is not found, parse the result of "glxinfo -l" and find "OpenGL renderer string", and use this info as the string being shown. There're some of AMD's fglrx driver will show "VESA VBE OEM Product: XXXXX" string in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I've asked AMD and their reply is that the VESA BIOS message is traced by VBEInit (libvbe.so) , which is out of fglrx’s control. Curently this "VESA:XXXXX" string instead of the more accurate string from glxinfo was being shown in the panel. I think Use glxinfo's information (when available) first is more accurate.
