[oi-dev] ATI Radeon 7.0.0 driver & Intel 2012Q4 graphics package

[Luca De Pandis]

Hi Ken,

I have an Intel HD Graphics GPU (Intel Celeron Sandy Bridge).
With the version 2.18.0 of the Intel Xorg driver, would it be able to use
the 3D acceleration or i should wait the i915 (with KMS/DRI2 support)
Illumos driver?

Actually, i'm able to run an X11 session only with vesa driver, but
when i use mplayer i can't play an HD film.

Anyway, i want to thank you for this huge work.

Best regards and happy new year,

Luca De Pandis


> Hi,

> See: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Graphics+Adapters (AMD Radeon Graphics)

> I've worked on the initial port of Xorg Intel 2.18.0 and ATI 6.14.6 radeon driver update
> and decided to revisit the recent driver releases for Q4 of Y2012.

> Now, I'm porting over the 32-bit/64-bit binaries for
> Xorg ATI Radeon 7.0.0 driver and the Intel 2012Q4 graphics package
> for OpenIndiana and posted related bits over on the OI bug report for Radeon.

> The main Xorg drivers being ported are:
> 1. Xorg Intel 2.20.15 driver
> 2. Xorg ATI Radeon 7.0.0 driver

> The Mesa 9.0.1 build for Solaris brings over the related 3D DRI drivers

> for Intel/Radeon (i.e. Intel HD Graphics 4000 & Radeon R600/R700).

> The LibDRM 2.4.40 binary package is attached to the OI Radeon ticket for further OI/Solaris development and includes
> libdrm libraries for libkms/omap/exynos/nouveau/intel/radeon (i.e. everything and the kitchen sink).

> All of the related "userland" device drivers and libraries are mostly ported to OpenIndiana.

> BTW, two developers/maintainers are researching the Intel DRM kernel patches for Illumos.


> Feel free to use it for further R&D on Solaris/OpenIndiana. The updated Radeon DRM Illumos-based kernel patches may
> come after the holidays.

> Hope that helps,

> Ken Mays
