Intel 2.5 Video Driver Test Release

Written by Michael Larabel in Intel on 25 August 2008 at 08:53 PM EDT. Add A Comment

Intel's Jesse Barnes has today released the xf86-video-intel 2.4.97.0 driver. This is a test release that features integrated GEM memory manager and kernel-based mode-setting along with other improvements. The EXA performance should be improved but the video tearing improvements haven't yet been merged. The complete change-log and release announcement can be read on the X.Org mailing list. The final release of xf86-video-intel 2.5.0 can be expected later this year.
