Updated Intel, ATI DRM For Linux 2.6.26
Red Hat's David Airlie has requested that Linus Torvalds pulls in a slew of DRM patches in time for the Linux 2.6.26 kernel release. The Linux 2.6.26-rc7 kernel will be out any day now, but David Airlie is requesting these patches get in as most of the work has been well-tested -- aside from the Intel GMA 4-Series work that was committed just days ago. These patches include all of the open-source R500 3D work for Mesa's DRM component, which will bless many users with this newly-found support. In addition, the patches include the new microcode for all Radeon GPUs that were officially released by AMD. While R500 is the major focus of this work, there are also a few DRM fixes for the earlier Radeon R100/200/300/400 generations (and the updated microcode helps these cards too). Last but not least, the Intel GMA 4-Series Chipset patches for DRM are included as well. David Airlie's e-mail message and all of the patches can be found on the mailing list archive.
