Phoronix: It's Looking Like The Intel Gallium3D "ILO" Driver Will Be Laid To Rest

Back in December was talk of dropping the (unofficial) Intel "ILO" Gallium3D driver while now it's looking like that may move forward...

Seems proper to me. Unmaintained and rusty areas need to be X'd

Quality is vital

Rather expected tbh. I've always seen ILO as more of a proof-of-concept that Intel hardware can utilize gallium as opposed to an actual production driver.

Last time I tried it, it had issues with windows randomly disappearing into nothing but a border on the desktop.

this should make the mesa binary a little smaller so its OK for me

Your distro surely never built that driver.

Michael well its gone now, we just want to give it some time just in case someone wanted to take it over however it was definitely dead.
