The Xorg Team is pleased to announce the next round of Xorg updates.
The team created a new flag called WITH_NEW_XORG that users can include
in /etc/make.conf. This was created for the intel KMS work being done
althouthough It probably works for other chips. Unfortunately, the intel
KMS driver will only work on FreeBSD 9(RELENG|STABLE) or 10/HEAD users.
Older version of FreeBSD will not be supported. Intel users will need
to patch their source manually with Konstantin?s KMS kernel patch to get
the newer chips to work. Please carefully read UPDATING entry.
Changes:
- libdrm 2.4.31 (including KMS support)
- mesa 7.11.2
- xorg-server 1.10.6
- a lot of new Graphic Drivers.
I would like to thank:
Koop Mast
Eitan Adler
Niclas Zeising
and all helpers and testers from x11@.
The Intel drivers was patched to work with
the new server. The drivers for Vesa, NV,NVIDIA and
ATI have been tested thoroughfully and seem to work fine.
