I was hoping that the 2.9.1 driver would work on the Ironlakes without drm support, but I've had multiple failure reports. A lot of work is required to try and de-linuxify and get newer drivers working. (Read GEM and KMS kernel support) I don't have an Ironlake to test with which complicates matters even further, on top of my current time constraints. It is quite possible that the current failure is something simple, but I really can't say for sure at the moment. robert. > Cheers > > Tom > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
