[Bug 959928] Re: Driver fallback for ARM loads the vendor driver twice and gets invalidated with the error

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package xorg-server - 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu7

---------------
xorg-server (2:1.11.4-0ubuntu7) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/111_armel-drv-fallbacks.patch:
    - Avoid loading the driver to test if it's available. Xorg will later load
      and validate the module, and if it's already loaded it'll trigger an
      error and invalidate the driver (LP: #959928)

Title:
  Driver fallback for ARM loads the vendor driver twice and gets
  invalidated with the error

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After patch patches/226_fall_back_to_autoconfiguration.patch got
  included and applied at the package, the driver fallback for ARM
  stopped working because of the natural load twice behavior.

  As the first load is not needed (Xorg will later load and validate the
  driver, having fbdev as a safe fallback), we should remove it to avoid
  Xorg loading it twice and invalidating the driver because of the
  second load error.
