--- Comment #2 from Dmitry Rogozhkin <dmitry.v.rogozhkin@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Hi Nicolas,

Can you, please, highlight the reasoning why media driver is not suitable for
Fedora? There were a number of issue addressed in the releases after 18.3.0,
including:
1. All custom i915 uAPI extensions were removed and driver now goes with the
upstream i915 uAPI only
2. Few build options were provided to enable/disable "non-free" shaders (those
for which source code was not exposed)
3. cmrt library build was fixed by adopting Linux DSO naming convention,
provide .pc files, etc.

Would you mind to explore possibility to build "free" version of the driver and
include it into Fedora? This would basically correspond to the following driver
configuration command line:
cmake \
  -DENABLE_KERNELS=ON \
  -DENABLE_NONFREE_KERNELS=OFF \
  -DBUILD_CMRTLIB=ON

This will produce limited features driver, but it still will be quite useful.
And it is possible to go further completely disabling shaders (aka kernels)
and/or cmrt library if desired.

Regards,
Dmitry.
