    Phoronix: Getting KMS Ready For Linux 2.6.29 Kernel

    It will be a while before the Linux 2.6.29 kernel merge window opens, considering we are just at the second release candidate for Linux 2.6.28, but Intel's Jesse Barnes is beginning to prepare the patches for kernel-based mode-setting support. There's still quite a bit of work left before kernel mode-setting will be stable, but the patches can be found on the DRI development mailing list. These patches need to sit atop the recent GTT (Graphics Translation Table) mapping and EXA pixmap management patches. Jesse has also sent along the Radeon driver that adds DRM/KMS mode-setting support (mailing list message), but it's currently out of date. For more information on kernel mode-setting support for Linux, checkout A Preview of Kernel-based Mode-Setting and The State of Kernel Mode-Setting...

    Does this mean, that when 2.6.28 is released GEM is full featured?
