Bug Description
[Impact]
We need a few packages backported to xenial for lts-hwe X stack.
Since the xserver is already at 1.18.4, the full stack from 16.10 will not be backported as a renamed set of packages. Instead, only the drivers with bugfix releases will be backported, plus the libraries and mesa that complement the set.
[Test case]
Run a desktop session, see that things still work
[Regression potential]
libdrm:
slim to none, changes from 2.4.67..2.4.70:
- amdgpu: spelling fixes
- ati: typo-/make check fixes
- intel: pci-id changes, already SRU'd
- nouveau: only some android makefile diff
- core: drmGetDevice fixes for multi-gpu
mesa:
included here just to keep the necessary backport bits in the same bug, the actual update testing will be handled on bug #1641017. That said:
- Intel validates new upstream releases on all their hw
- AMD probably does the same, though it's unverified
- this release was already tested by cert team on a handful of intel/amd machines

summary: |
- Backport packages for 16.04.2 lts-hwe stack + Backport packages for 16.04.2 hwe-16.04 -stack |
How can we ensure that this does not break existing 16.04 installs (with or without HWE)? Please add a test plan that covers at least the most widespread hardware (Intel, Nvidia, fglrx, free/proprietary drivers) and an overview of the regression potential based on the changes in the new libdrm version.
