The tarball that may be found at http://xenocara.org/intel-current.tgz contains an update to the intel 2.9.1 driver (the last one that supported userland modesetting) with a load of backports for bugfixes and performance improvements from drivers up to 2.11.
In order to test this, you will need INTELDRM_GEM defined in your kernel option INTELDRM_GEM in your kernel config, or a patch to i915_drv.h in /sys/dev/pci/drm will suffice) since this driver does not support operation without kernel memory mamangement (it tries, but it seems broken in many places). build procedure assuming you have already checked out xenocara: cd /usr/xenocara/driver mv xf86-video-intel xf86-video-intel.cvs tar xzf /path/to/intel-current.tgz cd xf86-video-intel make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper obj make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper build Then reboot into a GEM kernel to test. Please test this if you have access to the hardware because soon GEM will be the default so anything that is broken needs to be fixed soon. If you don't test and your stuff breaks you can consider it to be your fault. Please let myself and matthieu@ know of any testing results, positive or negative. Cheers, -0- -- Cleveland still lives. God ____must be dead.
