Bug Description
Configuring PRIME render offloading requires changes to the X server which have been accepted upstream but are not yet present in any release. These changes do not break the driver ABI and should be safe to backport to existing X servers shipped in distributions like Ubuntu.
The required commits are:
* 7f962c70b6d9c34
* 37a36a6b5b887d5
* 8b67ec7cc6fda24
* 56c0a71fdd94a00
* b4231d69028adc8
These commits must be backported to an X.org X server of at least version 1.20, as this is the first version with support for server-side GLVND.
Yes, it's been a plan to merge them for 19.10, but I hope they'll still make it in 1.20.6.
