> * Impact:

> hardware enablement stack.

> * Test case:
> - try using 12.04 with the Saucy hardware enablement stack on a machine
> needing the openchrome driver.

> * regression potential:
> - check that xorg sessions work as they should. The patches have
> received testing in Debian/Trusty/Saucy and upstream, so presumably should
> be fairly safe. The number of people using openchrome is relatively small
> compared to the main X drivers, so the scope of risk is rather small here.
