Hi, just a heads up for those using FACTORY with certain additional bleeding edge repos (namely X11:XOrg ;) The intel driver in there seems to have problems. Bug 687802. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

This was committed to FACTORY 3 hours after my mail and bugreport (which makes me wonder why we report such blockers, well, blocker is no longer available..., and why we write such mails and care about FACTORY at all). This will leave all intel graphics users with FACTORY blacked out. How can we prevent this from happening again? What should I have done besides reporting the bug and writing here? -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Oversight I guess - atleast thanks to your mail - I could enable a lock on the ones I currently have installed. I also hit the same bug as you late laste night, but I wasn't sure if it was my kernel:head or xorg that were to blame, planed on looking into it today, but thanks to you I didn't have to. //Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I also have found the the new version of 11.4 RC2 has a bug with Nvidia, nouveau or Xorg somewhere. That is because "tvtime" (and motd) now fails with with a Nvidia GT440 card _____________________________________________________ Running tvtime 1.0.2. Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml Reading configuration from /home/donn/.tvtime/tvtime.xml xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images. *** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card *** driver.
