https://edge.launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/sru2 ** Patch added: "mesa_7.6.0-1ubuntu4.1.debdiff" https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/640214/+attachment/1703217/+files/mesa_7.6.0-1ubuntu4.1.debdiff ** 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 not 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.
