The major news for this quarter is the update of the i915 driver in the
kernel! The driver now matches Linux 3.8.13, so it includes initial
Haswell support. Linux 3.8 is already three years old, but work
continues to upgrade DRM further. In particular, work commenced to move
to using the linuxkpi compatibility.
In the Ports tree, Mesa was updated to 11.1.2. The next minor release,
11.2.0, is ready for testing in our development tree. We also updated
libclc to 0.2.0.20151006, a library used by Mesa to provide OpenCL
support. Upstream patches were added to beignet so all these ports now
use the same LLVM version.
We attended FOSDEM 2016 in Brussels. Jean-Sébastien Pédron gave a talk
to explain the work of the graphics team and show how people can
contribute. It was well received and the presentation was followed by
interesting discussions. FOSDEM was also a nice occasion to meet and
talk again to the nice upstream developers of the graphics stack.
For the first year, we added two ideas for GSoC 2016: one for a kernel
task, one to redesign libdevq. Six students submitted proposals for
those ideas; that was unexpected! We now need to decide which one we
want to mentor and the choice is difficult.

<div>Now that we are able to compile the drivers for phase 1 ... the kernel components are the next implementation phase...<br>
<br>

I'd like to update all of the X11 2D video drivers when time permits.<br>
