[Xorg-driver-geode] upcoming xf86-video-geode 2.11.8

[Huang, FrankR]

Thanks for great work of Mart Raudsepp and  Michael Dänzer to this long long ago bug's fix. Appreciate you guys spend spare time on the geode driver. This is a urgent issue to fix for all the geode users. With this bug fixed, many geode users can come back to the lastest X server and related tech using Geode platform. That mostly encouraged our AMD guys to go on solving other bugs in Geode. I am still following the Mart's thought to solve this bug and catch up with you guys. With the time going on, we will take over every bug for us to fix. Just as Martin éric's suggestion, we should dig more into the driver for the rendering issue before we release 2.11.8 version driver finally. From the community and our work, the next version geode driver can support better on render issue.
From the information as I as know, the EXA part of X server still has this bug in the lastest version, is there any people to take a look at that? Anyway, the geoder driver's patch can avoid this big issue now.
And Martin, can you provide me with the links for the Gecko-based brower rendering bug report place? After I follow the Mart's work, I can give more time on that render issue.
Thanks again for your self-giving work!!

Thanks,
Frank

As many people who recently upgraded their Linux distribution to
something with X server 1.7 have undoubtedly noticed, EXA Compositing
recently broke, which affected rendering of e.g. GTK2+ icons, on the
Geode platform. Thanks to the investigative work of Michael Dänzer and
Mart Raudsepp, this issue is now fixed in our upstream GIT repository.

However, other rendering issues remain e.g. whenever using a
Gecko-based browser on a Geode platform. These are still being
investigated.

We expect to publish an xf86-video-geode 2.11.8 during the new few
days. Before we do, we would like to leave a few days for interested
parties to submit to this mailing list any patch they have to solve
outstanding issues, with a clear goal to solve as many issues as
possible on time for this release.

Looking forward to everyone's contributions to the xf86-video-geode driver.

Best Regards,
Martin-Éric
