Release notes for xf86-video-intel 2.10.0
=========================================
New requirements of 2.10 compared to 2.9
----------------------------------------
 * Linux kernel with kernel-modesetting (KMS)

   All user-modesetting code has now been removed from the driver.
   We highly recommend kernel version 2.6.32 or later.

 * Libdrm >= 2.4.16

New features in 2.10 compared to 2.9
------------------------------------
 * New driver debugging options available in xorg.conf
   (DebugFlushBatches, DebugFlushCaches, DebugWait). See "man intel"
   for more details.

 * Video overlay support with KMS. This currently requires Linux
   2.6.33, but a backport to 2.6.32 is available here:

   http://gitorious.org/daniel-s-linux-stuff/linux-kernel/commits/intel-kms-overlay-for-2.6.32

Notable fixes in 2.10 compared to 2.9
-----------------------------------
 * Fix crash when XRenderComposite is called with a -1 value for
   width/height, (crash at login when using compiz).

   http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24724

 * Fix to support larger extended desktops, (such as a 2560x1600 plus a
   1920x1200 monitor).


 * Fix glyph corruption due to insufficient cache flushing:

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24315

Several other correctness and performance fixes are also included.

Note: The driver code of the 2.10.0 release is identical to that of
the 2.9.99.901 release candidate. The only changes in 2.10.0 compared
to 2.9.99.902 are a minor change to the configure script, and some
small updates to the documentation.
