Description Daniel Link 2005-09-28 16:49:20 UTC
Could this patch:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2005-July/008734.html

please be included in the xorg-x11-6.8.99, at least as a commented line? There's
much information about the problem here:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2005-July/008733.html

Strangely it affects not all owners of i910/i915 cards. I know someone with
exactly the same laptop as I got and he doesn't experience the problem. Probably
that's even more a reason to leave it commented. But inclusion would be nice :)

Is it in upstream CVS?
Comment 2 Daniel Link 2005-09-29 10:32:22 UTC
I think what the xorg developer said on the list answers your question:

"The fix just worksaround/masks the real problem, so I'm not committing
that just yet."

http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2005-July/008735.html

Honestly, I don't care about what the real problem is as long as it WORKS.
Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-29 10:39:01 UTC
OK, it should be easy enough for you to create an overlay and add that patch.
Just stick it into files/ and add a line right around the current epatch that
says 'epatch ${FILESDIR}/patchname'

We're not interested in adding workarounds either rather than real fixes. But I
will leave this bug open, pending a real fix.
Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-12 20:09:13 UTC
Please reopen if a real fix appears.
