Corruption has again been reported on Intel hardware running Xorg with the modesetting driver (which uses OpenGL based acceleration instead of SNA acceleration the intel driver defaults to). Reported in various forms on Sandy Bridge (X220), Ivy Bridge (X230) and Haswell (X240). Confirmed to not occur with the intel driver but the xserver was changed to default to the modesetting driver on >= gen4 hardware (except Ironlake). One means of triggering this is to open a large pdf with xpdf on an idle machine and highlight a section of the document. There have been reports of gpu hangs on gen4 intel hardware (T500 with GM45, X61 with 965GM) when starting Xorg as well.

<h1>Help Wanted / To-Do List</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We can always use more help with the Mesa project.
|
|
Here are some specific ideas and areas where help would be appreciated:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Driver patching and testing.</b>
|
|
Patches are often posted to the <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev">mesa-dev mailing list</a>, but aren't
|
|
immediately checked into git because not enough people are testing them.
|
|
Just applying patches, testing and reporting back is helpful.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Driver debugging.</b>
|
|
There are plenty of open bugs in the <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Mesa">bug database</a>.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Remove aliasing warnings.</b>
|
|
Enable gcc -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstrict-aliasing and track down aliasing
|
|
issues in the code.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Windows driver building, testing and maintenance.</b>
|
|
Fixing MSVC builds.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Contribute more tests to
|
|
<a href="http://piglit.freedesktop.org/">Piglit</a>.</b>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Automatic testing.
|
|
</b>
|
|
It would be great if someone would set up an automated system for grabbing
|
|
the latest Mesa code and run tests (such as piglit) then report issues to
|
|
the mailing list.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can find some further To-do lists here:

|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to do something new in Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's
|
|
mailing list.
|
|
Then post a message to propose what you want to do, just to make sure
|
|
there's no issues.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Anyone is welcome to contribute code to the Mesa project.
|
|
By doing so, it's assumed that you agree to the code's licensing terms.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Try to write high-quality code that follows the existing style.
|
|
<li>Use uniform indentation, write comments, use meaningful identifiers, etc.
|
|
<li>Test your code thoroughly. Include test programs if appropriate.
|
|
</ol>
