Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
[Request] Standing FFe exceptions in Karmic for -ati until 6.13.0 (or 7.0.0?) release, libdrm until 2.4.13 (or 2.5.0?), and mesa until 7.6.0 in order to gain Kernel Mode-setting for ATI graphics hardware. [Rationale] KMS on -ati is a major goal for the Karmic release, yet KMS is not yet available in an official release. We have been carrying git snapshots of -ati, libdrm, and mesa in order to follow the current development, to enable testing and QA to proceed in parallel with upstream's work, so when a release does come we can integrate it with minimal worry. [Testing] In addition to validating updates on my own hardware, all git snapshot updates to Karmic are done only after the given snapshot has had some testing time in the xorg-edgers PPA repository. A number of users run this ppa and file bug reports when they spot problems, so this will help us avoid most critical issues. As well, by waiting a few days this lets us check the current git master to see if upstream put in important bug fixes. ** Affects: libdrm (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: libdrm (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: mesa (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Also affects: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libdrm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - FFe for updating -ati/mesa/libdrm git snapshots until release + FFe for updating -ati/mesa/libdrm git snapshots until their individual releases ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: libdrm (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- FFe for updating -ati/mesa/libdrm git snapshots until their individual releases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libdrm in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
