matthew@reztek.cz has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>= 's request for maintainer-feedback to x11@FreeBSD.org: Bug 214593: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel: Update to 2.99.917.20160614 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D214593 --- Description --- Created attachment 177101 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D177101&action= =3Dedit update xf86-video-intel to 2.99.917.20160614 This is a fairly large update on the Intel DDX. There are a lot of obsolete patches removed (many of which had been added to allow the ancient 2.21.15 = DDX to work with recent Xorg server) and a few new patches added. There has yet= to be a 3.0 release more than a year after expected, so the update is to a rec= ent 2.99 snapshot, the same that is in the external repo. Compared to that repo, this patch differs only by exclusion of the experimental DRI3 option for wh= ich there is no support in the kernel DRM drivers. QA: builds clean on 10/11 amd64 and I have run this and the previous 2.99 snapshot on 10-STABLE amd64 for months. My testing is all older hardware which works with UXA. Some newer hardware = may be better of with SNA. Users should also try modesetting DDX (included in xorg-server 1.18) as an alternative if there are issues with this driver.
