726157 - Figure which OEMs are keeping their users on old Intel graphics drivers

Status: NEW

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

The AdapterSubsysID's in crash reports correspond to OEMs, the mapping can (with difficulty) be done by googling.

A quick check for old drivers on a crash report is: contains Layers- and is capable of Layers. Most recent GPUs are capable of Layers. Only the Intel G33 isn't (vendor 8086, device 29c2) due to lack of support for 4k textures. Also worth weeding out some common older Intel GPUs (2772, 2572).

So this bash command:

$ gzip -cd 20120209-pub-crashdata.csv.gz | grep Layers- | grep 8086 | grep -v 29c2 | grep -v 2772 | grep -v 2572 | grep AdapterSubsysID | sed 's/.*AdapterSubsysID[2]*..//g' | cut -f 1 -d ',' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 20

OK, so let's start to collect this info in a table of the 'worst' sussysID's for old graphics drivers:
