This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --vLClpDSJFXxs7OiF2Ei7qFWCCE4l5n1Ik Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi! Several people are rightfuly asking about Haswell support and I failed to communicate properly (as well as get back to people on the mailing-list in general). So here is a status update :) I had very little time to work on i915 since February. Fortunately, this will improve, starting from this month. I need to refresh the informations on the wiki and keep it up-to-date. The goal is to update i915 to match Linux 3.8. Yes, this version was released in early 2013, but the other components (the device-independent code and the Radeon driver) of the DRM subsystem are already in sync with 3.8. I hope once all components are on the same page, it will ease future maintenance. To do the port, I'm taking Linux 3.8 as the original code and DragonFlyBSD source code to see what Fran=C3=A7ois Tigeot did and take so= me pieces of code. Rui Paulo already contributed some code too, thank you! The work is published on GitHub: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics/tree/drm-i915-update-38 I don't need any testers right now, the driver does not compile anyway. If you want to help port the code however, you are more than welcome! In this case, please come to #freebsd-xorg on EFnet so we can coordinate the efforts. I hope to have something ready to test around September. Obviously, it won't make it into FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE. However, it should be possible to make it available as a port, like what is done for FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE today. Thank you very much for your patience! --=20 Jean-S=C3=A9bastien P=C3=A9dron --vLClpDSJFXxs7OiF2Ei7qFWCCE4l5n1Ik Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJVlxn9XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NzA4N0ZEMUFFQUUwRTEyREJDNkE2RjAz OUU5OTc2MUE1RkQ5NENDAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMNR4P/ic+ijx7FwO3+i1ItKMvuCZG H29NI7HrMiEQmOKD7DGxKcDZe3SNKtsMWAJr48s4P7H3k1Jh1S+nr01IMN/H87c8 ZYmoMbnCGL3dmXl+qCXpd4ajAqlzOCmxkDP7/CedLaTcCNtp4q7usN9xxmnBPT2+ /xiEiKctbHlvKnGEZ4hgMg6Duu51VhGksm1+2G9Iqp/Qg38TKro7cz8znvCGBW4F m0D07lQabJfkLPFltrybNO5Q3ocAlMxtlnD8L7kjQzWVF1XdJQOOpMFDrEgL30hs meIBogOFmz5nUmJSYXPYiGbvatBbjoB+6Wt7VQAbZEMHF5GH+rmJNyRTTAElLN5q isaHQSPqY1Rg9iZtTVq/J2Zhb704HW/SgpJIew53AMceQI/5tZgNiitRtJko4zBg ge2Yzk6wDGjQ+Z2ONVOXudGV1B4YjY78Z0jDUMm/1NB29acjQ+ZVhFQ51lwtspMV E/UH2xI9gCiJtsamRURsassW/MWUvtG9Z7vfUmETN0FtQdiRqaZYL46PULiQWzSt +ae1IAQ3xN/h4OfiMwOnXRjDHBTglON7DbZnikQkNkz4OUfcb6JVXE4d3fkxCyqE Ch9cQ78k2Gca/EtXTeh5s1QJcsmdjVkox+Z20kdnO04LuK0g2U5b/7YHOmvGUE+R iuDsBYH3QQE+NZ4YYMvK =JOun -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vLClpDSJFXxs7OiF2Ei7qFWCCE4l5n1Ik--
