[oi-dev] [HEADSUP] X server update in OpenIndiana Hipster

[ken mays]

No, we didn't. You'll see that it was all worth it. Ingenuity is risky business - just own it, and embrace it.Either breathe fire or blow smoke signals - or stand still.

Nikola, Ken.

This time we seriously fucked up with intel drivers. Sorry, but I didn't 
have intel video adapter and couldn't test it. Intel 2.9.1 driver wasn't 
working with new Xorg, so I updated it to 2.18, which is what is in 
XstreamOS and hoped that if it worked for them, it could work for us. 
Unfortunately, it wasn't true. I understand that KMS work will not land 
to illumos-gate in the nearest time. I think we can look at downgrading 
intel drivers to something like 2.9 (or even 2.6) which still supported 
UMS until KMS work is ready. I don't know how much work it'll take to 
make this crap work with new Xorg server, so no promises on time frame 
for now. Until then you can use vesa.
