xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 Brings Pineview Support

Written by Michael Larabel in Intel on 5 January 2010 at 03:39 AM EST. 11 Comments

Intel has just put out its quarterly update to their X.Org DDX driver. This new driver is xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and it delivers on dropping all support for user-space mode-setting (using kernel mode-setting is now a must), KMS video overlay support (when using the Linux 2.6.32 kernel or later), new debugging options, many bug-fixes, and support for the new Intel Pineview chips.

The xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 announcement can be found on xorg-announce.
