Greetings all,
There are multiple bugs apparently related to KMS with both nouveau and
radeon. This is causing blank screen issues for many PPC users from 12.10
through Raring daily tests getting failed. Those who are able to fall back
to FBDEV will experience "slow" performance due to software rendering.
I am not qualified to become a part of your team and no use whatsoever at
creating patches. I am very new to Linux myself. However, I could attempt to
help triage bugs by cleaning / clarifying the titles, tags and soliciting
logs from other reporters. Maybe help them with SSH set up to obtain more
logs. Would that be of any help?
As an example, I attempted to follow the guidelines
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging in my own bug report -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/11
70054
If this would be helpful, could someone clarify the following:
Should I -
Just go ahead and retitle / retag bugs and mark bugs missing logs as
incomplete?
Or, just suggest the reporter do so and link to debugging / triaging X wiki?
Link to other arches / upstream reports found? Or, leave that to someone
more experienced?
Thank you,
Str8
