xf86-video-intel 2.3.0 Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 23, 2008

Having been in development for a few months now and going through a couple development releases, version 2.3.0 of the xf86-video-intel driver has been released. The 2.3 release represents Intel's Q2'08 open-source driver update and the biggest change is the addition of XvMC (X-Video Motion Compensation) support for the Intel 915/945 IGPs. This graphics driver also has improved stability and a horde of bug-fixes. The release announcement and source download links can be found on the xorg-list. xf86-video-intel 2.3.0 will be part of the forthcoming X.Org 7.4 release.
