Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-geode
Advanced Micro Devices recently assigned two engineers to maintain the code of xf86-video-geode and the first tangible result of this was the recent release of version 2.11.9 of the driver, which fixes several rendering issues and code base regressions. Also, as a byproduct of fixing one rendering issue, the performance of the driver was greatly enhanced. Some of the bugs closed by this release were found via the upstream Free Desktop Bugzilla, while others were found in distribution-specific bug trackers at Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu. Other issues still were discovered and fixed in the process of fixing those aforementioned bugs. More details can be found in the upstream ChangeLog. Thus, it would be desirable to push the Maverick 2.11.9-1 version of this package into all currently supported Ubuntu releases. Test packages have already been built via my PPA. Building for Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid requires no modification. Meanwhile, building for Hardy requires minor adjustments to Build- Depends and debian/rules. Comparing the Hardy and Lucid versions of the 2.11.9-1 package in my PPA shows how small the difference in packaging is. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: High Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Karmic) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Jaunty) Importance: Undecided => High -- SRU: xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.11.9-1 to Lucid and older supported releases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-geode 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
