XFree86 4.2.0 DRM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Arjan Van de Ven has integrated the new 4.2.0 kernel DRM into our 
rawhide kernel.  It may take a day to reach rawhide however.  The 
new DRM is supposed to also be backward compatibile with XFree86 
4.1.0 (untested).

kernel 2.4.17-0.5 or later should have this integrated.  I plan 
on putting the kernel rpm's on my ftp space as well.  Please 
note, my new 4.2.0 packages (4.2.0-0.3) contain the updated 
kernel-drm dependancy.  If you do not have the updated kernel 
which provides this, the packages will not upgrade.  Using 
--nodeps, will cause XFree86 to upgrade, but DRI 3D acceleration 
will most likely fail.
