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.
