I asked Steve Langasek if he would accept a newer version of the driver
as an SRU for Hardy, and he said no absolutely not. So that is not an
option.
So to bring the solution to Hardy, it is necessary for someone to do a
bisection search (such as via git bisect) to find the specific patch,
which we can then put an SRU in to fix for everyone. I do not plan on
doing this, as I'm more focused on Intrepid now, but would encourage
anyone wishing the fix to do it.
Another approach would be to put in a request for a backport of the
2.3.2 driver. The steps for doing this are:
a. Get the current source from Intrepid
b. Build it on $dist
c. If it builds fine, file a bug via
https://launchpad.net/products/$dist-backports/+filebug
"Please backport $driver from Intrepid
Current version: <old-version>
New version: <intrepid-version>
I built it successfully on $disk with no source changes needed.
Benefits include better support for newer and older gfx hw.
