Fixed debdiff for xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.0-1ubuntu2.2. Package has been uploaded to this PPA instead as well

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. + 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. + + SRU PATCH PROPOSALS: + https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/640214/+attachment/1595848/+files/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.0-1ubuntu2.2.debdiff -- 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
