mageia fwang, if it's possible (as you have updated in cauldron) CC:

fundawang I've pushed it into updates_testing, please test. I just reinstalled Mageia 1 from scratch and update fglrx. It works well. $ rpm -qa |grep fglrx fglrx-control-center-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree dkms-fglrx-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree x11-driver-video-fglrx-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree I think these packages can be pushed in update. Thank you Funda

qa-bugs Yann, can you tell us on which arch you have tested ? (i586 / x86_64) CC:
(none) =>
stormi Of course :) I have tested on x86_64 arch. Has anyone tested this on i56? I can't as my radeon card uses the ati driver. CC:

davidwhodgins If nobody can test on i586, I will replace my x86_64 system by an i586 next week to test this. This update still needs testing in i586 on a system that uses the fglrx driver I just realized that my office workstation uses the fglrx driver, and I have all update candidates installed, so I consider this tested on i586. However, I'm not sure for such a package 2 different computers are enough. There could be regressions for some kinds of hardware. So my question : are we sure that this new driver fixes more bugs than it adds ? Given that anyone who does run into problems can always fall back to the release version, I think testing on both architectures is enough. Given that this has been done, I'll validate this update. Can someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm fglrx-8.881-1.mga1.nonfree.src.rpm from Nonfree Updates Testing to Nonfree Updates. Advisory: This is update to the fglrx video driver fixes a problem with mouse cursor lag on KDE. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2452 Keywords:

Given that > this has been done, I'll validate this update. I do not agree : with only 2 testers, there's still a quite high chance that some users may find a non working X server upon reboot after the installation. Not everyone knows how to downgrade such a package, supposing they found out that the knew driver is what causes their problems ! This update has already been pushed but I really think we should test that kind of update with more hardware. The question is : how ? Mageia-app-db could help in the not too far future, allowing users to subscribe as potential testers for specific packages. (In reply to comment #12) > Not everyone knows how to downgrade such a package, supposing they found out > that the knew driver is what causes their problems ! You're right. In future, if no-one on the qa-team has the hardware to test a video driver, I'll ask in the dev and general mailing lists, for volunteers. |
