    Phoronix: Intel Already Posts First Open-Source Graphics Driver Changes For Linux 4.21~5.1

    The merge window isn't even over yet for the current Linux kernel cycle that will end in late December or early January, but Intel's stellar open-source crew responsible for their kernel graphics driver have already sent out their first set of changes to DRM-Next for what will start 2019 with either the Linux 4.21 cycle or 5.1 depending upon how the 4.20~5.0 versioning is decided...

    While Intel's business practices in terms of how it sells hardware are comparable to those of Monsanto, their open source efforts are among the best in the industry.

      This happens for both Intel and AMDGPU every kernel release, the cut of for new work is rc5, so everything beyond that is for the next again kernel

      You make it sound like it's a big surprise / something that never happens

        thats false, rude and worse things, there are a number of people that has DIED because of monsanto, where the worse things intel has done in the selling part are bribes, thats miles away from monsanto

              For Intel, the commits adding support are in 8 January 2018
              https://github.com/torvalds/linux/co...9bb5c0953cf27f
              https://github.com/torvalds/linux/co...8e7b716143e523

              For Freedreno, HDCP support commits are in 2015.

              Actual hardware support may vary.

                thanks for the answer: have the users which use nvidia cards the support on hdcp?

                  Business practices that screw over everyone who needs their products or those made using their products in an effort to maximize profit and limit competition is pretty much part and parcel of both companies' business practices. A chemical company is obviously going to cause much more physical harm when they don't care about their customers, but that doesn't change the fact that the fundamental mindset of the people who run both companies is eerily similar.

                  Personally I blame business schools for hammering the idea that the first and foremost goal of a company is to create value for it owners, with "value" meaning money, a bit too heavily into the minds of their students.

                    Actually it will be 5.0 , because before it there should be 4.20 . So you should label it as "Linux 4.21~5.0"
