Intel X.Org 2.2.1 Driver Coming Soon

Posted by Michael Larabel on December 13, 2007

The Intel X.Org 2.2.0 Driver was released just about a month ago, but a bug-fix v2.2.1 release is planned for the near future. Jesse Barnes mentioned on the FreeDesktop.org mailing list that the 2.2.1 release will address some of the recent regressions in this open-source Intel video driver. There is a 2.2.1 blocker bug, which currently has five open bugs (another five are already closed), but the two major regressions that this release will cure is X-Video crashing and a pipe enable bug. The Intel EXA performance issues will not be fixed until a later release.
