[ANNOUNCE] Intel 2009Q4 release

[Jin, Gordon]

Hi,

We'd like to announce Intel 2009Q4 release package (http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2009Q4.html), which consists of:
- xf86-video-intel 2.10.0
- mesa 7.7
- libdrm 2.4.17
- Linux kernel 2.6.32
- xserver 1.7.3 is recommended to use with this release

The biggest change in this release is user-modesetting (UMS) code has been removed from xf86-video-intel driver, so it's required for kernel to support kernel-modesetting (KMS). We highly recommend kernel version 2.6.32 or later.
With this transition, some rare output may fail to work due to some mode setting path handled differently under UMS and KMS. If you encounter this, please file bug referring to http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html.

For 8xx users, video overlay is now supported with KMS, if you use a new kernel.

Thanks,
Gordon
