Intel's Zhenyu Wang has announced the release of the
xf86-video-intel 2.5.99.2 (2.6 RC2) driver. This latest open-source Intel driver depends upon libdrm 2.4.3 while introducing improvements for
kernel mode-setting,
UXA, and various other fixes. This driver will also now automatically build with support for kernel mode-setting if the X Server is new enough.
The change-log (and source download links) for this xf86-video-intel 2.6 RC2 driver can be found on the
X.Org mailing list. The final release of xf86-video-intel 2.6.0 should be out this quarter permitting no last minute delays.
