So this seems like something that would be ideal to get into an SRU, but figuring out the minimal patch to fix the package seems non-trivial:
remus:~/src evan$ debdiff xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2.1.dsc xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.10.0-1ubuntu1.dsc | diffstat | tail -n 1 75 files changed, 60043 insertions(+), 1850 deletions(-) Additionally, the Ubuntu-specific changes to the package don't seem to be in the git repo listed under Vcs-Git in the control file, so you couldn't very easily try to bisect the problem. As far as I can tell, there are 2 approaches to getting this fixed in a way that works for the MIT environment: 1. Attempt to find the minimal changeset and develop an SRU. Is the git repo (or not-git repo) for Ubuntu available anywhere so that we could attempt to bisect the problem? 2. Get 1:6.10.0-1ubuntu1 into intrepid-backports. I'm not sure how hard this would be to do - the newer version depends on a version of xserver-xorg-core that's newer than the one in intrepid (1) is clearly a better option than (2), but we can't afford to block on (1) getting fixed if it's not going to. Should we continue to pursue this ticket, or should we start on the backporting effort? -- X fails to start on Radeon HD 2400 Mobility (Ubuntu 8.10 RC) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289026 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
