Hi Tobias, the bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79999 in xf86-video-intel which broke Mathematica seems to have been fixed.
May I ask if you know what the timeline between such corrective commits on http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ and the actual update of the openSUSE repo would usually be? More directly speaking I need 'my' Mathematica graphics to work again. I.e. it would be cool if there would be an openSUSE update soon (which then hopefully is even less buggy than the last one ;) ) ------------- Furthermore, while I'm at it let me also ask something more general in relation to the xf86-video-intel driver. Maybe you can tell me: I realized that, contrary to my initial belief, the driver is not a 'kernel driver' in the sense that one does not need properly configured kernel header files in order to compile a clone from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel. Instead a simple ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make makes the driver. So I guess, that with 'sudo make install' I would have the 'bleeding edge' version in my system. However before doing so, I unpacked the rpm from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/xf86-video-intel-2.99.912-125.1.x86_64.rpm in some test directory and compared its file structure with that from a test installation of xf86-video-intel from the git clone into some user space directory. One immediately realizes that there would be major differences between these two installs. So therefore my actual question is if you know how openSUSE transforms the git clones into their source tar.gz bundles? If I'd knew that, I could simple download the openSUSE spec file for the driver and could build my own rpm from the git clone whenever I want - without having to bug mailing lists.
