xserver-xorg-video-intel driver must be version 2.7 in Jaunty and others

[Pablo Estigarribia]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

In Ubuntu Jaunty we have disabled compiz, we have many issues with Intel driver since Jaunty is released and before.

Many hundred of these issues are fixed in 2.7 Intel driver http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-April/045117.html

Maybe there is some possibility to add this driver to Jaunty and remove from compiz black list the Intel GM965 driver.

Also there are many issue with UXA fixed in this release.

I forgot to say this:

If you check bugs related with xserver-xorg-video-intel driver package you will found 323 bugs!! too many https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel

I think 90 percent of them could be fixed with this 2.7 intel driver.

you can use x-updates if you want 2.7
