Changelog

Version: 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.13 2014-01-28 11:06:23 UTC

  jockey (0.9.7-0ubuntu7.13) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * jockey/xorg_driver.py, tests/hybridgraphics.py:
    - Add support for systems with two or more AMD GPUs.
      This is very useful now that AMD's APUs have been
      released (LP: #1272311).
    - Adjust the tests so that they no longer fail when
      dealing with systems with multiple AMD GPUs (now
      dealt with by the fglrx-pxpress package).

1272311 Add support for AMD Kaveri graphics chipsets

Version: 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.10 2013-08-09 05:07:13 UTC

  jockey (0.9.7-0ubuntu7.10) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * data/handlers/fglrx.py:
    - Show the driver as enabled when pxpress is in use.
      Thanks to Doro Wu for the patch (LP: #1196848).
    - Add handlers for -experimental-{12|13}.
    - Only -experimental-13 supports hybrid graphics.
  * data/handlers/nvidia.py:
    - Add handlers for 319/-updates 304/-updates.
    - Only 319/-updates support hybrid graphics.
    - Make sure to remove the correct nvidia-settings
      flavour.
  * data/handlers/{fglrx|nvidia}.py:
    - Add support for Hybrid Graphics (LP: #1198942):
      + Driver handlers now need to state that they support
        hybrid graphics and subclass either the
        _NvidiaDriverHybridBase class or the FglrxDriverHybrid
        class.
      + Drivers which don't claim to support hybrid graphics
        will not show up on hybrid systems.
      + If the nvidia-prime or the fglrx-pxpress packages are
        not available, the drivers won't be available on
        hybrid systems. This avoids breaking systems which
        require further configuration which only these two
        packages provide.
      + Jockey doesn't touch the xorg.conf when dealing with
        hybrid graphics (as either nvidia-prime or
        fglrx-pxpress will take care of it).
      + Hybrid Graphics is only supported on systems which
        use Raring's backported X and kernel.
  * jockey/xorg_driver.py:
    - Add supports_hybrid_graphics class attribute.
    - Add has_hybrid_graphics class attribute.
    - Add better support for faking devices and packages.
    - Ignore transitional packages.
  * jockey/oslib.py:
    - Add package_transitional() method.
    - Add package_available() method.
    - Make current_xorg_video_abi take into account
      backported packages.
    - Catch additional arguments in package_installed().
      This gives us some flexibility when using fake
      devices for testing.
    - Add some checks for raring's backported xserver.
  * tests/hybridgraphics.py:
    - Add coverage for hybrid graphics.
  * tests/oslib.py:
    - Deal with the multiple video abis that drivers may
      support.
    - Make sure that the kernel headers are available before
      failing.
  * tests/sandbox.py:
    - Report a more compliant fake X ABI.
    - Update package_installed() to match the one in oslib.py.

1196848 Jockey returns wrong enablement status of fglrx within iGPU mode

Version: 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.9 2013-04-17 19:07:28 UTC

  jockey (0.9.7-0ubuntu7.9) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * jockey/kerneldetection.py:
    - Catch KeyError in get_linux_metapackage() (LP: #1123107).
      Sometimes the "Source" key is not available.
  * tests/kerneldetection.py:
    - Add two tests to make sure that get_linux_metapackage()
      doesn't raise a KeyError when dealing with packages
      without a "Source" field and that the function doesn't
      stop if one or two packages don't have the said field.
