Soren confirmed through IRC that this solves the issue adequately. The regression risk for this bug is low. The code is invoked only for cards where autodetection failed, and attempts a second autodetection. This change skips this second autodetection for Intel cards; at least some proportion of Intel cards (maybe all) suffer from screen corruption during installation, making it extremely hard to complete installation. The effect is that users will have to manually provide some extra information during installation.
So the worst case regression here is that laptop users with Intel graphics that fail the primary autodetection, but would normally be autodetected by xprobe.sh, will now instead receive a prompt for resolution. However, I suspect this is going to be a vanishingly small number of cases. In any case, the harm of the regression is small, whereas the harm of not including the fix is much higher. -- Alternate install of Tribe-4 corrupts video display when installing packages (affected hardware includes Santa Rosa) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
