Lenovo T400 (4500MHD): Xorg 7.4, xf86-video-intel-2.4.3 upgrade

hi!

I would like to ask you if anyone with an lenovo t400 has done a successful upgrade to xorg 7.4 with xf86-video-intel-2.4.3 and intel-dri-7.2-1. I'm still using xf86-video-intel-2.3.2-1 and intel-dri-7.0.3-1, though I'm not completely satisfied with it (sometimes X does not start, suspend doesn't work anymore).

I've read a lot about upgrading troubles and I would really appreciate sharing your experience.

thanks in advance,

woifi

I'm using a Dell E5400 and everything works (except for shaders >1.4)

woifi,

I have the same machine and the upgrade to Xorg and xf86-video-intel make my machine not able to come back from a suspend/hibernate. The screen comes back, but everything is frozen. I have been able, however, to use the "vesa" driver in Xorg and get suspend/hibernate to work then. I can't use Compiz then, but I would rather have suspend than Compiz at this point. I'm hoping that the novelty of this machine and the Intel GMA 4500HD are causing the wrinkles in the drivers.

hi,

thanks for your responses. I will play around with upgrading during christmas holidays - maybe we can fix the problems.
