Hm. Can you send me and sta...@kernel.org a list of the exact git commit ids in 2.6.31 that you want to see in 2.6.30 so that we can figure out what should be added? Your wording above makes me feel that you aren't quite sure what is needed just yet. thanks, greg k-h ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

That might be very tough, as 2.6.31 is not released yet :) So, 2.6.30 isn't good enough today to run this? If so, what specific parts of .31-rc should be backported to .30? thanks, greg k-h ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Could this be put on the front page of the intellinuxgraphics.org page, or somewhere equally obvious? Also, at least as of xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 and pretty recent mesa and libdrm devel checkouts, my laptop performs much better under KDE4 than my nVidia-based desktop. Looking forward to getting a discrete Intel card for my desktop, once that's a possibility :) ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Intel 2009Q2 release
Hi, We'd like to recommend 2009Q2 package (http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2009Q2.html), which consists of: - xf86-video-intel 2.8.0 release - mesa 7.5 release - libdrm 2.4.12 release The newer kernel (2.6.31) contains more kernel fixes, so generally better than older kernel. If you want to stick to 2.6.30, you might need the additional patches linked in the above webpage. See the detailed major fixes and known issues in the above webpage. The biggest change compared with 2009Q1 package (xf86-video-intel 2.7 based) is UXA becomes the default (and only) acceleration method, while EXA (the previous default) and XAA has been removed. So if you see regression, please firstly try 2.7 wih UXA to figure out if it's caused by EXA->UXA transition or a true regression in 2.7->2.8. KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) is preferred to use in this release. It'll be appreciated to file bugs referring to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html, if you see any unknown issues.
