Chris Halse Rogers (RAOF)
X bug work:
- i845, i855
- Try to reduce crashes for i855 and i845 users by disabling DRI (Bug #541492 and Bug #541511). Feedback suggests that it hasn't helped enough and has introduced regressions for others.
- There's a big, scary upstream patch for i855 which is starting to be merged into drm-intel-next. This should get backported to stable, and we'll try to SRU it.
- Discussed solutions with Bryce and slangasek. We'll revert the DRI disablement after RC, and document workarounds.
- Apart from i8xx, -intel is going well
- Noaccel quirks for nouveau worked. Nouveau also looks good
Documentation:
- Write a draft mmiotrace howto
- Update X/Freezes with some details about common nouveau freezes
Mono
- Discovered that libappindicator0-cil wasn't installing correctly. Filed bug 564351, added a patch. Eventually got duped to bug #564506, which has a bigger patch fixing this and making the package CLI-policy compliant.
Packed up flat & moved to Hobart.
