Instead of defaulting to -intel for Oaktrail, Medfield, and CDV chips, default to -fbdev. For Poulsbo (only), attempt to use -psb if it's installed, and fallback to fbdev otherwise. All other Intel chips should use -intel. This fixed an issue where -intel would load on these chips and cause a boot failure. Newer -intel drivers avoid the boot hang, but it's still the wrong driver to load, so why take chances. The patch was originally created by Stefan Dirsch for OpenSUSE. We have included it in our stable release (Ubuntu "quantal" 12.10) since December. ref: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772279 ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1069031 Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60514 Signed-off-by: Bryce Harrington <bryce@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
