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. Thanks Alan for your work and support as well, ~ Ken Mays --- On Thu, 1/6/11, Guido Berhoerster wrote: > From: Guido Berhoerster > Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] SandyBridge support > To: "Alan Coopersmith" > Cc: "ken mays" , opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org > Date: Thursday, January 6, 2011, 11:19 AM > * Alan Coopersmith > [2011-01-06 16:49]: > > 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. > > FYI, > https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=xf86-video-intel-2.9.1-xorg-server-1.7.3-fixes.patch&package=xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy&project=openSUSE%3A11.3&srcmd5=9d240defdeccb1320edcf92bc02ccf08 > is all I had to modify in order to get the 2.9.1 Intel > driver > (the last version supporting UMS) to build with the 1.8.0 > Xorg > server.

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.
