Re: [osol-discuss] SandyBridge support
Mesa 7.10 Release Notes / January 7, 2011 Mesa 7.10 is a new development release supporting the Intel Sandy Bridge IGPs. People who are concerned with stability and reliability should wait for Mesa 7.10.1. New features * GL_ARB_explicit_attrib_location extension (Intel and software drivers). * GL_ARB_texture_rg (Intel, software drivers, gallium drivers). * GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects extension (Intel and software drivers). * GL_NV_primitive_restart extension (Gallium softpipe, llvmpipe). * New fragment shader back-end for i965-class hardware. * Support for Sandybridge chipset in i965 DRI driver.

Sorry, as I said on xwin-discuss yesterday, I don't think the kernel driver binaries needed to test that will be available to the public until the next full release on the Solaris 11/Express train. -- -Alan Coopersmith-alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] SandyBridge support
Guido & Alan, I hope that once a fully "compliant" Xorg 7.6 XNV implementation is in place with the additional kernel-side DRM/KMS updates from the Intel/Oracle team(s), we can test it and work towards a fully supported Intel 2.14.0 driver as well as the Mesa 7.10.x Intel DRI driver updates.

It should be thoroughly unusable, which is why we've not integrated it yet. Current Intel driver versions will *NOT* run on kernels without KMS support. They've dropped the user-mode setting that was in older versions of their Xorg driver. This is also why we're still on Xorg 1.7.7, since the older intel drivers that still work on non-KMS kernels don't support Xorg 1.8 & later, and while we could port it, we've been focusing our effort on getting the combined Xorg 1.9 + KMS solution working well instead with the newer drivers. -- -Alan Coopersmith-alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] SandyBridge support
Chris, Yes, the Xserver 1.9.2 package implementation is part of the basic requirements as well as Mesa 7.10 and the updated Xorg Intel 2.14.x driver. You'll need a package set as I proposed for IPS updates: xf86-video-intel 2.14.0 Mesa 7.10 libdrm-2.4.23 cairo-1.10.2 libva-1.0.7 xserver-1.9.3 Note: ON (snv) kernel patches needed for kernel-side Intel DRI/DRM support for the Intel GMA HD 2000/3000 IGPs. Otherwise, you'll continue to have have 2D/3D performance regressions and other oddities. You can get Alan's Xserver 1.9.2 build for testing at: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/x/downloads/Xorg-1.9/build-2010-11-18/Xorg-1.9.2-20101118-i386.tar.bz2 I'm reviewing the intel 2.13.903/2.14.x 2D driver/Xserver 1.9.2 package integration for testing. Mesa 7.10 is proposed for release tomorrow. Tests ran on: Intel HD Graphics (Arrandale & Clarkdale) IGPs. ~ Ken Mays P.S.

[osol-discuss] SandyBridge support
Does Solaris have any enhancements (in public commits?) to support the new Intel "SandyBridge" chips? AIUI some X support for SandyBridge was due in Solaris "later this year" (2010), so possibly is in S11 Express. But what about support for other SandyBridge features? (UEFI, vector processing extensions?) Cheers, Chris ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
