Thanks for doing a prerelease, Carl. AFAICS it fixes a lot of issues. One issue I noticed. Kernel 2.6.36+ appears to be a requirement for this release. With Kernel 2.6.34.7 the result is a black screen with the never ending error message: (EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or even a frozen display: No such device. This is confirmed for GM45/965GM/Pineview. Is this requirement intentional = or could it be considered a bug? libdrm is at commit a52e61b. Maybe the latest commit in libdrm fixes it? commit 49447a9b957047db2549b8a929e763bbd87808ba Author: Albert Damen Date: Sun Nov 7 15:54:32 2010 +0100 intel: initialize bufmgr.bo_mrb_exec unconditionally = If bufmgr.bo_mrb_exec is not set, drm_intel_bo_mrb_exec returns ENODEV even though drm_intel_gem_bo_mrb_exec2 will work fine for the RENDER ri= ng. Fixes xf86-video-intel after commit 'add BLT ring support' (5bed685f76) with kernels without BSD or BLT ring support (2.6.34 and before). = Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D31443 Signed-off-by: Albert Damen Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson Thanks, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
