We are pleased to present this major release of the xf86-video-intel
driver. This release is very similar to the 2.7.99.902 release
candidate but includes a couple of additional bug fixes, (for bugs
#22760 and @22483).
Compared to the 2.7 releases this driver contains several new features
and many bug fixes. The driver now depends on X server 1.6 or later,
and eliminates several obsolete code paths, (XAA and EXA removed in
favor of UXA, DRI1 support eliminated). The driver certainly will work
best with an i915 module from a recent kernel (2.6.31) and with
kernel-modesetting (KMS, specified by loading i915 with the option
"modeset=1").
* pkgsrc change: remove useless patch-ba by me.
Release 2.7.1 (2009-05-12)
--------------------------
This is a maintenance release on the 2.7 branch. Compared to 2.7.0 it
consists only of a few carefully hand-picked fixes for bugs,
(including GPU crashers). We encourage all users of 2.7.0 to upgrade
to 2.7.1.
Bug fixes since 2.7.0:
* KMS: Hook up output properties for RANDR, (this allows output
properties to be controlled in the KMS case just as in the UMS
case). [Zhenyu Wang <zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com>]
* Fix multiplication error when computing required batch space.
This could fix any number of cases where the driver did
inexplicable things (due to having computed the wrong
size). [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
* Hold reference to video binding table until all rects are
painted. This prevent general chaos in the buffer
manager. [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
* Split i915 textured video commands to fit into batch
buffers. Video and 3D setup commands share the same batch
buffer, so without this fix, various problems could occur when
video and 3D clients were both heavily active at the same
time. [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
* Fix crash with XV with large virtual display (> 2049). [Albert
Damen <albrt@gmx.net>]
* Provide missing value to 3D_STATE_VERTEX_BUFFERS command. We
don't know that this was causing any problem, but the change
does bring the driver into conformance with what the
specification says the hardware requires here. [Keith Packard
<keithp@keithp.com>]
Here is the message on xorg-announce.
