Normally upgrading to a .2 is a no-brainer. However in this case, the upversioned libdrm dependency means we're going to need to do a more thorough review and testing of both packages (and any other dependency changes that result), which will take time.
If we can't take the .2 in its totality, perhaps we can cherry pick patches into ubuntu. |

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
At least from what I've read in the mailing list, the 2.6.2 release of intel drivers should provide a good number of bugfixes over 2.6.1, the one present in jaunty's repositories.
I'm wondering if it is the case to update, since it also requires libdrm 2.4.5. |

At least from what I've read in the mailing list, the 2.6.3 release of intel drivers should provide a good number of bugfixes over 2.6.1, the one present in jaunty's repositories.
2.6.2/2.6.3 are significant bug fix releases, incorporating many fixes to GEM/DRI2/UXA as well as a number of more general bugs and performance issues.
Bringing our -intel up closer to the latest upstream stable release also makes it easier to get support from upstream; 2.6.1 is too old and they're just asking bug reporters to re-test against newer versions, which is hampering efforts to get additional fixes backported for jaunty.
Upstream for -intel is advocating UXA as a solution to a wide variety of bugs and problems that we're seeing in the distribution currently. Our testing found that UXA as of 2.6.1 was far too unstable to consider turning on as default so could not consider that as an option. Supposedly, the fixes in 2.6.3 will open UXA as an option for us, that may solve a wide range of issues. However, we want to gain testing on this by the wider community before biting the bullet and switching. So having this 2.6.3 release in Jaunty beta will help enable us to do this testing.
[changelog]
2.6.2: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-February/044003.html
2.6.3: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-March/044186.html
[testing]
I (bryce) have built the package locally in a pbuilder environment, installed and tested against EXA both with and without compiz, and running my XSmoke test (which covers basic video, opengl, and resolution switching).
