Binary add-ins for Arrandale

Binary add-ins for Arrandale

Hi,
I'm in doubt whether there are optional binary-only add-ins for the intel
graphics driver for Linux that will make it's performance increase. It seems
to lack the features and performance that are present in the binary-only
Windows driver. Is there a choice for users of Linux that are not strictly
Open Source?
thanks,
            - Madura A.

No [1]. What features are you lacking? There are a few that other groups
within Intel protect as being proprietary that we would need to sink a
huge investment of time into to reverse engineer (or simply develop an
alternate). Knowing what features are desirable help us plan and allocate
resources, so what is your priority list?

[1] There *is* the IEGD binary driver. I'm not even sure if that is
generally available or even compilable. Caveat lector.
