** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  After upgrading to Karmic (alpha) my graphics driver is unable to
  provide Xv. The following line is printed in Xorg.0.log:
  
  (WW) intel(0): Disabling Xv because no adaptors could be initialized.
  
  I've tried various settings in xorg.conf, with no luck.
  (XvPreferOverlay, Tiling).
  
  [Update]
  
- Video overlay support with KMS is now supported in xserver-xorg-video-
- intel 2.10.0. This currently requires Linux 2.6.33, but a backport to
- 2.6.32 (Lucid version) is available from http://gitorious.org/daniel-s
- -linux-stuff/linux-kernel/commits/intel-kms-overlay-for-2.6.32 .

+ From the Q4 anouncment [1]:
+ Video overlay support with KMS is now supported in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.10.0. This currently requires Linux 2.6.33, but a backport to 2.6.32 (Lucid version) is available from [2].  Daniel Vetter intends to support this backport which is intended for distros that use kernel 2.6.32 [3]. Although the main code is in the kernel, intel driver 2.10.0 is apparently required [4].
