Upstream... sigh :( I think, if anything, we'll have to start adding git snapshots. Yeah… Upstream… Matt, let me try pushing a snapshot (hopefully this weekend), it'll give me the opportunity to try the new portage-with-git setup. Thanks Please add a snapshot. That'd be awesome. :) Created a snapshot here: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/dev/mrueg.git/commit/?id=1c0d34426a9d8d530192413e375a40ff4531b577 Will the snapshot be added to the main tree at some point? :) Thanks a lot I'd recommend using an older snapshot like the one from 20151019. The recent snapshots I used, broke my multimonitor setup and caused frequent freezes :( Fedora moved to the snapshot from 20151109 to also, finally, re-enable DRI3 support with xorg-server-1.18 as a way of trying to fix some long standing tearing issues with intel driver :/ http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-drv-intel.git/tree/xorg-x11-drv-intel.spec I've added a snapshot, please give this a try: commit ad81f74c5668f567ff61232b087bdc3034c8bc49 Author: Manuel Rüger <mrueg@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Jan 24 21:48:21 2016 +0100 x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel: Add new snapshot to support xorg-server-1.18 Gentoo-Bug: 568200 Gentoo-Bug: 572700 Package-Manager: portage-2.2.27 |
The commit linked in ${URL} fixes an issue with the xv video output (as used by mplayer). See also the upstream bug report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89807 A simple test to witness the issue is to play a video using "mplayer -vo xv". I've tested the patch on my Broadwell system and it fixes the issue. I had this issue for quite some time, but I only took the time to investigate recently. It has been 6 months since this was fixed, but the last snapshot is 9 month old. Would the X11 team consider adding this patch to fix this annoying issue? Thanks!
