First of all thanks for your great work so far. I have tried the driver on my notebook with Iris 550. After patching libdrm with https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=e3623d34cad0ac3f181b0deee0931df202b8f909 and installing the experimental xf86-video-intel driver it is partially working. What's not working is: - 3D-acceleration - multi-monitor support (only tried with hdmi), after loading the i915kms driver the output is duplicated, but there is no way of controlling the outputs independently (xfce also shows only one connected display) - Xorg refuses to start unless I kldload i915kms manually before trying to start Xorg - there are some rendering issues (pink lines, weird transparency where there should be no transparency), but I don't know if these are related to i915, the experimental xf86-video-intel driver or the software renderer On 2016-05-23 10:12, Matthew Macy wrote: > The highlights for today are the following: > > Bug fixes: > - Will Andrews fixed attach for some laptops (such as the Carbon X1). > The Carbon X1 has a quirky BIOS that doesn't allow the OS to > enumerate the GPU's interrupt. > - Will Andrews identified a conditionally uninitialized return in > idr_find that could lead to a panic in some cases. > - Fixed a panic in mtrr_del frequently seen when attach failed. > - Sleep/wakeups with interrupts are largely implemented correctly > now.
