Btw, it appears the link on this page needs updated for 2.9.0: http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver > Where to obtain the release > =========================== > git tag: 2.9.0 > > http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-intel-2.9.0.tar.bz2 > MD5: 34ff2582993d64dddd62d0cb7b30d759 xf86-video-intel-2.9.0.tar.bz2 > SHA1: 62e29344824a5de421178fec568d7ff0688309f8 xf86-video-intel-2.9.0.tar.bz2 > > http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-intel-2.9.0.tar.gz > MD5: a3b2f3f9abcbf2d6add4d0c3a6e06279 xf86-video-intel-2.9.0.tar.gz > SHA1: 25bb6948223db5e8f140f42aa6de2dfb7f7d9a50 xf86-video-intel-2.9.0.tar.gz > > New features in 2.9 compared to 2.8 > =================================== > * Support for the B43 chipset. > > Major fixes in 2.9.0 compared to 2.8.0 > ====================================== > * Multiple fixes to make the driver stable for 8xx chipsets, (855GM, > 865G, etc.).
