Hm, so the accepted result is: Intel-Users don't get any x? ^^ > > Also, if someone does reactivate automated builds for the intel > > driver, can we force the version to <=2.7.1 since later versions > > don't work at all without KMS or require newer kernel-drm which > > is not ported yet? > > It could be done but it's not that simple, someone would have to > maintain a package of the old version, as well as an old version of > libdrm, then sort out conflicts with the latest libdrm, etc. AFAICT the following other packages are involved (at least in stock FreeBSD its those): libdrm, libGL, libGLU, libGLw, libglut, dri, mesa-demos These are pretty independent of the rest I think, at least I had all sorts of different versions running with different xserver-versions on FreeBSD. Then again, I am not sure about the packaging in Debian and more recent versions of X. > There has been some progress in FreeBSD upstream to implement KMS: > > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2011-June/010898.html > http://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU > > Perhaps there's usable KMS support by the time kfreebsd 9.0 is > released. Yeah I know about that, but it's still a big "perhaps" in my eyes. Also FreeBSD doesn't have a record of sticking to their timeframes for releases ...
