[SRU] feisty missing support for intel graphics hardware

[Kyle McMartin]

Feisty released without support for the 965GM and several new 945-derivative chipsets. This is an omnibus bug report for the purposes of tracking the SRU.

[Kyle McMartin (kyle)]

The first package on the hit-list is mesa. This patch backports support for 965GM and the G33/Q33/Q35 (and adds a few new PCI Ids.)

This also fixes a critical bug in mesa, i965G/GM would lockup intermittently with fullscreen GL.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Mesa patch is huge for SRU purposes, but looks reasonable. All affected chipsets need to be tested, though.

Please get this fixed and tested in Gutsy soon.

[Kyle McMartin (kyle)]

All issues are already basically fixed in gutsy. (Except the -i810 backport, but that will be fixed in a few minutes.)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Kyle, please upload the feisty-proposed version again with this bug number in the changelog. (See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, point 2.1). Thank you!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This went out with the last feisty-security upload.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted mesa into feisty-proposed, please go ahead with QA testing.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I can not SRU verify this one myself (I do not have a i965 based board). We need support from the community or from the hardware verification lab. Please also test for regression on a currently supported card that runs with -intel drivers as well as testing that the new stuff works.

Thanks,
 Michael

I tested the following systems by running glxgears. All had libgl1-mesa-dri:6.5.2-3ubuntu8, libgl1-mesa-glx:6.5.2-3ubuntu8, libglu1-mesa:6.5.2-3ubuntu8,
mesa-utils:6.5.2-3ubuntu8.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

verification considered done after Tim's testing and in bug 124242.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

mesa copied to feisty-updates.

I removed the verification tags again, since the two X drivers still need to be updated, and are not in -proposed yet.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Kyle, what is the status on this? Do the -intel/-i810 drivers still need updates in Feisty?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Closing the feisty task for -video-i810 due to inactivity.
