HWE upgrade from vivid to xenial removes support for r128 and mach64

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xserver-xorg-video-ati-lts-xenial into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati-lts-xenial/1:7.7.0-1~trusty2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

So I'd want to check for the presence of xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-xenial and xserver-xorg-video-mach64-lts-xenial after the HWE upgrade?

Yes, on an unmodified Ubuntu system installed from 14.04.3 the -vivid
packages were removed and -xenial was not installed.

I did an HWE upgrade today, with -proposed enabled, on a 14.04 system with the Vivid HWE stack installed. After the upgrade I had the xserver-xorg-video-mach64-lts-xenial and xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-xenial packages installed.

I'm going to test Ubuntu GNOME w/Vivid stack tomorrow but tonight I ran a Lubuntu w/Utopic HWE upgrade and I think all looks fine:

sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-hwe-eol shows:

WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement
Stack ended on 2016-08-04:
 * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL

There is a graphics stack installed on this system. An upgrade to a
configuration supported for the full lifetime of the LTS will become
available on 2016-07-21 and can be installed by running 'update-manager'
in the Dash.

The same appears if I run hwe-support-status --verbose. Then:

At that point I went ahead and re-enabled proposed so I could test the HWE upgrade via GUI and I think all went well. Afterwards:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-xenial
xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-xenial:

Looks good here, xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-wily and xserver-xorg-video-mach64-lts-wily are offered to be replaced by xserver-xorg-video-r128-lts-xenial and xserver-xorg-video-mach64-lts-xenial when -proposed is enabled.

I've run several tests and it looks good to me, so I think we're good to go.

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-video-ati-lts-xenial - 1:7.7.0-1~trusty2

xserver-xorg-video-ati-lts-xenial (1:7.7.0-1~trusty2) trusty; urgency=medium
