Comment 3 for bug 277104

I already associated two of the fixes to a LP id (as well as a fdo bug):
- Display garbled upon rotation bug #267266 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17317
- Broken Xv output bug #267297 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17254

The macbook problem is already discussed in length here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17625 . The relevant commits appears to be:

Does this need to open a new LP bug?

I don't know how to reproduce the sync-to-vblank problem.

Wouldn't backporting all single fixes more harming than syncing with current git? I am using the updated packages from https://edge.launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive and they appears to be working fine.
