Cleaned up xserver-xorg-video-intel patch to more closely match what actually went upstream in this commit
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video- intel/commit/?id=55b5fe888002258dd863d41977bfbfcf1a922179 ** Description changed: I have a machine with Intel B43 chipset but can not using X, looks like intel-agp and i915 module is not loaded. + + --- SRU JUSTIFICATION NOTES --- + + IMPACT: A new revision of the B43 chipset has been released and the + corresponding drivers were not updated to recognize them until recently + due to the rarity, but machines are now in the wild that contain them. + Without this change the drivers will recognize these devices at all and + fail to load. + + RESOLUTION: Adding the pci id's to the corresponding drivers, letting + them know they are B43 chipset devices that it already knows how to work + with. + + TEST CASE: + 1) Boot any ubuntu release on a device containing this chipset, which can be verified with lspci -v and seeing if 8086:2E90 or 8086:2E92 is listed. + 2) Verify that i915/intel-agp are not listed in lsmod, and xserver-xorg-video-intel is the driver in use in /var/log/Xorg.0.log + 3) Update packages + 4) Reboot and verify i915 and intel-agp are listed in lsmod, and intel is the driver in use in /var/log/Xorg.0.log + + REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Extremely low, no new code paths are added for + these specific devices. The changes only add the new device to the + corresponding drivers and they are functionally no different than the + previous B43 devices supported already. No new code paths are added or + changed to make these work. ** Patch added: "102_b43_pciid_update.patch" https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/640214/+attachment/1595538/+files/102_b43_pciid_update.patch -- X failed on Intel B43 machine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640214 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
