Release 2.7.1 (2009-05-12)
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
This is a maintenance release on the 2.7 branch. Compared to 2.7.0 it
|
||
|
|
consists only of a few carefully hand-picked fixes for bugs,
|
||
|
|
(including GPU crashers). We encourage all users of 2.7.0 to upgrade
|
||
|
|
to 2.7.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug fixes since 2.7.0:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* KMS: Hook up output properties for RANDR, (this allows output
|
||
|
|
properties to be controlled in the KMS case just as in the UMS
|
||
|
|
case). [Zhenyu Wang <zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fix multiplication error when computing required batch space.
|
||
|
|
This could fix any number of cases where the driver did
|
||
|
|
inexplicable things (due to having computed the wrong
|
||
|
|
size). [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Hold reference to video binding table until all rects are
|
||
|
|
painted. This prevent general chaos in the buffer
|
||
|
|
manager. [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Split i915 textured video commands to fit into batch
|
||
|
|
buffers. Video and 3D setup commands share the same batch
|
||
|
|
buffer, so without this fix, various problems could occur when
|
||
|
|
video and 3D clients were both heavily active at the same
|
||
|
|
time. [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fix crash with XV with large virtual display (> 2049). [Albert
|
||
|
|
Damen <albrt@gmx.net>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Provide missing value to 3D_STATE_VERTEX_BUFFERS command. We
|
||
|
|
don't know that this was causing any problem, but the change
|
||
|
|
does bring the driver into conformance with what the
|
||
|
|
specification says the hardware requires here. [Keith Packard
|
||
|
|
<keithp@keithp.com>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Release 2.7.0 (2009-04-15)
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
Compared to the 2.6 series, 2.7.0 has a large number of bug fixes, but
|
||
|
|
also a few significant features, such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SDVO-TV support, available on ADD2 card (bug#9992) and
|
||
|
|
D945GCLF2 board (bug#17776).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Basic SDVO-LVDS support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XV video display without tearing
|
||
|
|
[Though this isn't working for all users yet, see
|
||
|
|
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21076 ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Various fixes for UXA, DRI2, and Kernel modesetting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We encourage users to use kernel modesetting and UXA acceleration with
|
||
|
|
this release, which should give the best performance and
|
||
|
|
robustness. When KMS is available, UXA is the default acceleration
|
||
|
|
used by the driver, (EXA is the default otherwise).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Known issue:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some Linux kernel versions (such as 2.6.29) are known to have
|
||
|
|
broken PAT code that causes recent versions of this driver to
|
||
|
|
fail, (which can manifest as the X server simply not
|
||
|
|
starting). This can be verified by adding the "nopat" option
|
||
|
|
to the kernel command-line and seeing the failure go away. We
|
||
|
|
hope that newer kernels in the 2.6.29.x as well as 2.6.30 and
|
||
|
|
above will have working PAT code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of the most notable bugs fixed in 2.7.0 include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
