Here's the first 2.5.0 test release. Should be about as stable as the 2.4.1
and upcoming 2.4.2 releases, but also includes GEM and kernel mode setting
code. We haven't pushed the video tearing fixes yet, hopefully that'll be
upstream for the next test release. Carl has made good progress on improving
EXA performance, but I think the scrolling case may still be sub-par, but
we're interested in getting feedback there.
I expect most people will be using this driver on top of a non-GEM kernel, so
bugs with that configuration will get priority. However the driver should run
well on top of GEM enabled kernels (and a bit less well against mode setting
enabled kernels if you include the patches I posted to dri-devel recently,
though note that there's no video support with kernel mode setting yet).
The blocker list is getting pared down, 14/20 left on the list, and some of
those have test patches attached.
To build this release you'll need a git version of libdrm; hopefully we'll
see a release with the necessary bits soon. Otherwise we'll probably just
pull the bufmgr bits out of libdrm git and stuff them into Mesa &
xf86-video-intel to make the final release.
Thanks,
