** Description changed: [Impact] The graphics HWE stack from mantic needs to be backported for 22.04.4 directx-headers - build-dep of the new Mesa mesa - new major release (23.2.x) - new HW support, Meteor Lake.. [Test case] - Install the new mesa on various hw, see that everything still works like before or better. + We want to cover at least 2-3 different, widely used GPU and already previously supported generations from both AMD and Intel which are supported by this release, as those are the ones that cover most bases; nouveau users tend to switch to the NVIDIA blob after installation. No need to test ancient GPU's supported by mesa-amber. + - AMD: + - Intel: gen9 (SKL/APL/KBL/CFL/WHL/CML), gen11 (ICL), gen12 (TGL/RKL/RPL/DG2) + + + Install the new mesa and run some tests: + - check that the desktop is still using hw acceleration and hasn't fallen back to swrast/llvmpipe + - run freely available benchmarks that torture the GPU (Unigine Heaven/Valley/Superposition) + - run some games from Steam if possible + + and in each case check if there are any gfx corruption happening [Where things could go wrong] This is a major update of Mesa, there could be regressions but we'll try to catch any with testing. And since it shares bugs with mantic, we'd already know if there are serious issues. We will backport the final 23.2.x at a later stage, the first backport is needed for enabling Intel Meteor Lake.
