[OpenIndiana-discuss] XNV_174a and 175a

[ken mays]

Hi Ian,
Yes. Follow the procedure(s) and upgrade to xnv_175a from there. The build system will do much of the packaging work for you. From there you can add the packages to an IPS repo of your choice.

I maintain a port of the Intel 2.16.0 video driver for Solaris and oi-dev. 

As Alan mentioned, the Illumos modified kernel requires patching for true Sandy Bridge (and Ivy Bridge) support.

Good luck,
Ken Mays

Thanks for the clarification. If Xnv_175a is the first version to support
Sandy Bridge graphics, did you follow mostly the same build process for it
as for 174a? I'd like to try building it from the upstream repo.
