Ok, the first Intel 2.2 pre-release is out, available at the usual locations (e.g. http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/). The changelog is fairly large, you can look at git if you really want to see it.
For those of you who still have open bugs on the 2.2 blocker list (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=13027), please give this driver a try and update or close your bugs as appropriate. This driver assumes: - X server 1.4(.x) - Mesa 7.0.x - latest released version of DRM (i.e. latest released Linux kernel for Linux users). Additional suspend/resume fixes are available in development versions of the DRM (in the Mesa DRM tree and recent -mm kernels I believe). There are still several open issues with this release, but bugs are being squashed fairly quickly, so it may shape up into something decent by release time. The main highlights of this release versus 2.1.0 are: - EXA by default (cheers & jeers all around please) - Tiled front buffer (should improve performance) - Framebuffer compression (a power saving feature) - Many, many bug fixes (yay!) The final release should have some additional features, including improved backlight support and additional TV output properties, along with many more bug fixes. Many thanks to everyone who's contributed fixes, testing and bug reports so far, please keep up the good work!
