Please update quirks for -intel to Intrepid

Bug #316672 reported by Bryce Harrington on 2009-01-13

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone

	Intrepid	Invalid	Medium	Unassigned

Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This is a quirk update for the -intel video driver, that adds quirks for several video chips.

Impact: Moderately serious (X displays at bad resolution behavior or locks up on lid close)

How addressed: These are all common known flaws that upstream implements the fixes on a per-chip basis using quirks

Patch: See attached. This has been uploaded to intrepid-proposed

Reproducing problem: For the crashes, closing the lid of the specific laptop will hang the system. For the lvds problems, simply boot and note the resolution is incorrect and cannot be controlled via the normal tools.

Regression potential: Slight. These are targeted to specific chipset pci ids to the scope of change is very constrained.

Includes:
+ Ignore LVDS for Aopen mini pc i915 chips (we already ignore for 945 and 965)
+ Ignore LVDS for Asus Eee Box
+ Ignore LVDS for Intel mv890 motherboard (LP: #305269)
+ Pipe-A quirk to fix lid close crash on Toshiba Satellite A30

Hrm, seems there is already a 10.1 from last fall still queued up in -proposed, so renumbering to 10.2.

(I first posted this to bug #297245 but it probably belongs here)

The update to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu10.3 from 10.1 caused a scrambled display on my Dell/Motion Computing LE1600 tablet.

The difference I see in the logs is this, when broken:
(EE) intel(0): Mode 1280x1024 does not fit virtual size 1024x1024 - internal error

instead of this, when working:
(EE) intel(0): Mode 1280x1024 does not fit virtual size 1024x768 - internal error

I am running at 1024x768, so it seems the proposed update does not properly detect resolution.

lspci says:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Let me know what other info you need...

The summary mentions upstream... is there a bug on kernel.org that I should follow up with or something?

If upstream is implementing these fixes that messed up my display I should probably work with them to get it sorted out.

Chris, you mention that you saw the regression going from 10.1 to 10.3. None of the quirks in this 10.2 upload match your hardware so I think it's highly unlikely this bug caused your failure. Maybe 10.3 did it.

Intrepid Ibex reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010 so I am closing the report. The bug has been fixed in newer releases of Ubuntu.
