[Intel-gfx] FW: [ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.902

[Jin, Gordon]

Hi all,

We are starting 2.7.0 release (as part of 2009Q1 package) cycle. Here's the first release candidate.

The main improvement against 2.6.0 includes:
SDVO-TV support, available on ADD2 card (bug#9992) and D945GCLF2 board (bug#17776).
basic SDVO-LVDS support
tearing-free xv (bug#19635)
panel startup failure on some specific laptop models (bug#17292)
and various fixes for UXA/DRI2 and Kernel Modesetting.

Please give it a try and report bugs as usual (referring to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html).

If you find any critical bugs, feel free to add it to 2.7 release tracker: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=intel-2d-release.

Trying with the option UXA and with composite window manager is also appreciated, as we are going to move to UXA/DRI2 soon.

Trying Kernel Modesetting with the latest 2.6.29-rc kernel or Eric's for-airlied kernel is also welcome.

Thanks
Gordon

This release is a tiny change compared to .901. The only difference is
that the tar file now includes the files necessary to build and link the
driver against xvmclib.

Thanks to Stefan Dirsch and Donnie Berkholz for reporting and confirming
the problem with the previous tar file.
