17 Years Later: Intel 865 Chipset Seeing FBC Enabled On Linux

Could it be embedded use?

This topic has nothing to do with what you said.

You're right. Lets get back to ranting about systemd and Lennart. This is phoronix after all.

Were those graphics really extreme anyway?

Only compared to previous Intel GPU's. (And you had to be elite enough to find the secret BIOS setting and increase the video RAM. Otherwise, games might get confused by the DVMT scheme and refuse to run.)

This is why I am not an Intel hater.
They really do a great job supporting their hardware on Linux.

BTW I still have an E6600 on a G965 chipset that I use as my NAS.

No it's just a flyby. Knowing how these things usually go, it's probably breaking it, but since none of the people that so vehemntly want long support like that and whine in forums constantly actually don't have so old hardware anyway, none will notice for a few years, at the very least, if ever.

The articles does make it sound like a flyby. But hey, if we can get the full feature set on a given piece of hardware, that's a good thing.

Although you're right about the harsh reality (i.e. potential crashes and not many users if at all).
