    Phoronix: Intel Gen 4~5 BLORPing Happens With Mesa 17.2 Git

    Earlier this month we reported on patch work done to bring Intel's BLORP blitting framework to older Intel graphics hardware and now that work has landed in Git for Mesa 17.2...

      There's almost 50 different commits, so hard to point to just any single one as most important, but anyhow whoever clones from Mesa Git already knows how to do so.

        Forgive my ignorance on the subject, I happen to have a Sandybridge laptop. Where do Sandybridge graphics fall into all this?

        I can never remember intel's generation conventions, as the CPU and GPU don't go together.

        Side note: can't wait for Raven Ridge

          I believe Gen6 if this wiki page is correct: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel#Feature_support

              I hava a zoo of gen 4 (GM45/Cantiga), 6 (Sandy Bridge) and 7.5 (Haswell) ... the generations are enerving. Another helpful site for Intel Graphics may be:

                Kinda cool to see that Mesa+Intel DRI has the most GL support on every generation of Intel graphics of any operating system.

                  That is cool.
                  Although Gen4 users (mainly G45) got a bit screwed with oss here : the hw is capable of hw-accelerated h264 decoding, but it has never been exposed through vaapi
                  Still, thanks for the support.

                    It has actually, but in a branch that never got merged into mainline. Some people have continued to hack that code so that it compiles with newer versions of libva and going by the comments here it seems to still work: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/l...river-g45-h264
