Guido & Alan, I hope that once a fully "compliant" Xorg 7.6 XNV implementation is in place with the additional kernel-side DRM/KMS updates from the Intel/Oracle team(s), we can test it and work towards a fully supported Intel 2.14.0 driver as well as the Mesa 7.10.x Intel DRI driver updates.
Thanks Alan for your work and support as well, ~ Ken Mays --- On Thu, 1/6/11, Guido Berhoerster <guido+opensolaris....@berhoerster.name> wrote: > From: Guido Berhoerster <guido+opensolaris....@berhoerster.name> > Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] SandyBridge support > To: "Alan Coopersmith" <alan.coopersm...@oracle.com> > Cc: "ken mays" <maybird1...@yahoo.com>, opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org > Date: Thursday, January 6, 2011, 11:19 AM > * Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersm...@oracle.com> > [2011-01-06 16:49]: > > This is also why we're still on Xorg 1.7.7, since the > older intel drivers > > that still work on non-KMS kernels don't support Xorg > 1.8 & later, and > > while we could port it, we've been focusing our effort > on getting the > > combined Xorg 1.9 + KMS solution working well instead > with the newer drivers. > > FYI, > https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=xf86-video-intel-2.9.1-xorg-server-1.7.3-fixes.patch&package=xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy&project=openSUSE%3A11.3&srcmd5=9d240defdeccb1320edcf92bc02ccf08 > is all I had to modify in order to get the 2.9.1 Intel > driver > (the last version supporting UMS) to build with the 1.8.0 > Xorg > server.
