Bug#458099: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Please consider packaging old i810 driver again
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.0-1
Severity: wishlist
The new xserver-xorg-video-intel driver has never worked properly for
me; there are several showstoppers (which I've been dutifully filing
into xorg's bugzilla), and so I've been using a kind of backport of
version 1.7.2-4 of the i810 driver. It looks from the BTS like I'm not
the only one having problems with the new driver, and so it seems to me
that it would be nice to provide a package for the old driver until the
new one gets more stable.
Thanks.
