    Intel's 3.0 X.Org Driver Takes Another Step Closer To Release

    Phoronix: Intel's 3.0 X.Org Driver Takes Another Step Closer To Release

    With how long xf86-video-intel 3.0 is taking to be released as stable, one has to wonder whether Wayland will take over the Linux desktop prior to this DDX release.....

    xf86-video-intel 3.0 is hereby nominated the new DNF. Though everybody's really waiting on 3.11 for Wayland Workgroups.

      Support for X without root privileges, DRI3+Present.
      Wow, awesome!

      Hope to soon see this get released.
      Sounds very promising.

        I'm testing a recompiled 2.99.916 with DRI3 enabled (is now disabled on stock Archlinux package).
        As I already reported, there's no drop in 3D performance while using a composite manager, but only DRI3 does the magic...
        Delays are still present with some apps (chromium), but overall the performance of this driver is impressive: SNA at its best!
        Thank you Chris.

          Yesterday Keith Packard started working on xf86-video-intel.
          Some of his glamor/dri3 related patches sounds very promising to me.

            What exactly is DRI 3 for? How would I enable it in Fedora 20? Fedora is about the only distro that is still on the very old xf86 driver so it's missing lots of stuff. Do I need 1.15 verison of xserver? I believe Fedora is on 1.14, so I would have to compile that as well?

            edit: I see this comment for Mesa 10 for Fedora:
            * Tue Apr 15 2014 Adam Jackson <ajax at redhat.com> 10.1-6.20140305
            - Disable DRI3 in F20, it requires libxcb bits we haven't backported.

              DRI3 is the successor to DRI2.
              It allows tear-free rendering.
