Linux 2.6.26-rc7 Kernel Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 21 June 2008 at 09:11 AM EDT. 11 Comments

With the release of the Linux 2.6.26-rc7 kernel, the release of Linux 2.6.26 final is nearing. The big change in Linux 2.6.26-rc7 is the Intel and ATI DRM update we talked about earlier this week. That update brings R500 DRM support, updated microcode for all Radeon GPUs, and Intel GMA 4-Series (the upcoming X4500 Chipset) DRM support. Linus Torvald's mailing list message and short change-log can be read at Kernel Trap.
