Mandriva Linux Advisory MDVA-2009:084
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : x11-driver-video-intel
Date : May 27, 2009
Affected: 2009.1
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

The intel graphics driver shipped in 2009.1 was the 2.7.0 version
which has turned out to be somewhat unstable on some systems (this
was still more stable overall than earlier versions, but hardly any
consolation to those having problems!).

This updates the package to the 2.7.1 version recently released by
intel and fixes several crashers. The number of changes is quite small,
so hopefully minimises any chances of unexpected regressions.

Here follows the advisory text from the upstream Intel maintainers:


This is a maintenance release on the 2.7 branch. Compared to 2.7.0 it
consists only of a few carefully hand-picked fixes for bugs, (including
GPU crashers). We encourage all users of 2.7.0 to upgrade to 2.7.1.

We have verified that several of the reported bugs of GPU crashes,
(mouse continues to move, but otherwise X is totally unresponsive),
are fixed with the commit by Keith Packard in 2.7.1 to correct the
computation of the batch space required. If you have previously
reported a GPU-crash bug in bugs.freedesktop.org, please test with
2.7.1 and report your findings in the bug. If the crash is fixed,
please celebrate with us!

If the crash persists, please attach the output of intel_gpu_dump
available here (and hopefully packaged in your distribution of
choice soon)


Please note that the intel_gpu_dump utility refered to above is
now available for 2009.1 via contrib/updates in the intel-gpu-tools
pacakge.
