Clear message
New X Stack in Natty
Target to get in by Friday Jan 28, 2011. This gives us a few days for tidying up any critical issues before alpha-2 is finalized.
- mesa 7.10 upload
- (DONE) Get in sync with Debian's 7.10 packages (we should at least use same source tarball) [RAOF]
- (DONE) Post proposed final packages and ping bryce [RAOF]
- Run unity testsuite on new mesa
- (DONE) libdrm
- (DONE) Final packaging into git and ready for upload [RAOF]
- (DONE) Final review and upload [bryce]
- (DONE) libdrm-nouveau1a transition - Note in the Alpha-2 release notes. Semi-messy but will prevent people getting segfaults / partial-upgrades.
- Pre-xserver-1.10:
- (DONE) x11proto-randr - required to build server. Use xorg-edgers snapshots to upload. Cleanup changelog too. [bryce]
- (DONE) x11proto-xext - required to build server. Use xorg-edgers snapshots to upload. Cleanup changelog too. [bryce]
(DONE) wacom upstream release - Upload wacom package from http://cooperteam.net/Packages/
(DONE) siliconmotion - Needs http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/siliconmotion-ABI.patch
- (DONE) synaptics - Needs (something?) patched
- (DONE) Announcement to ubuntu-x@ and ubuntu-devel@ of upcoming breakage
- Do we (tjaalton?) have a script to automate the X component rebuilds?
- -radeon update:
- (DONE) Version to target 6.13.2+gitfoo? [bryce]
- (DONE) Include refreshed radeon patches for git: [bryce]
- Put out a call-for-testing for switching to r600g by default
- -synaptics
synaptics acceleration changes. http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-synaptics-acceleration-mechanism.html
- File bug report about the issue that we can dupe against [Sarvatt]
- Try to revert or turn off these changes until there is a mechanism to let users configure it
Or mess with the default settings in gnome-settings-daemon? http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=59248ed8ba5ff58248f63c0e208c133de538d046 unfortunately depends on gsettings.
- (DONE) If not possible add to Natty Alpha-2 Release Notes
- [RAOF] In all my testing of the new synaptics I've not found this annoying behaviour. Perhaps it will not be as widespread as feared, and we can quirk it off?
- (DONE) -intel update: git snapshots are in xorg-edgers now for testing, but we want the official Q4 released version in Natty.
- (DONE) Q4 release needs packaging up [RAOF].
- (DONE) x-x-v-intel ready in git [Sarvatt]
- (DONE) Finalized and uploaded to natty [bryce]
