[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] RFR: 8023590: REGRESSION: large count of graphics artifacts with Java 8 on Windows 8 on Intel HD card.

[Vadim Pakhnushev]

Hi,

Please review a fix for this issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023590
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vadim/8023590/webrev.00/

In JDK 8 b91 we enabled D3D pipeline on Intel HD Graphics chipsets
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8000936
After that we received a number of reports about rendering artifacts.
Apparently, updating drivers to the latest version resolved these bugs.
While it's probable that we are using D3D in some not exactly compatible 
way, it's more likely a driver issue.

So the fix is to update drivers blacklist to the latest versions 
available from the Intel website.
I've tested the software from this bug report as well as simple test 
case and internal test from the other report on Lenovo laptops with HD 
Graphics 3000 and 4000 with Windows 7 x64.

Thanks,
Vadim
