Intel 2.2.1 X.Org Video Driver Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 22, 2008

The xf86-video-intel 2.2.1 driver update has been in the cooker now since this past December, and today on the eve of FOSDEM it has finally been released. The Intel 2.2.1 X.Org video driver is a maintenance release that addresses a large number of bugs since the release of the 2.2.0 driver. Not all blocker bugs were addressed for this release, but an Intel 2.2.2 driver update is possible (permitting enough interest). The next major xf86-video-intel driver update will come in the way of version 2.3. This next update is expected to reduce mode-setting flickers and deliver on other improvements. The xf86-video-intel 2.2.1 driver release announcement can be read on the X.Org mailing list.
