Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Intel Graphics 12.02 for Illumos-based distros 

Hello, 

Provide Intel 12.02 graphics package features for OpenIndiana/Illumos-based distros. 


Ref: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2012.02.html 
Ref: https://www.illumos.org/issues/2570 
Related ticket: https://www.illumos.org/issues/1485 

These 64-bit packages were ported to OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana/Illumian for software development and provide these Intel Graphics 12.02 package features: 

1. mesa 8.0.2 
2. xf86-video-intel 2.18.0 (*) 
3. libdrm-2.4.33 
4. libva-1.0.15 
5. vaapi-driver-intel-1.0.15 
Notes: (*) The Xorg Intel 2.18.0 64-bit video driver binary, mesa 8.0.2, libdrm-2.4.33, and libva/vaapi-1.0.15 are 
available for oi_151a and exceed the Intel Graphics 12.02 package requirements. Be advised, Intel KMS/DRM patch updates are needed within the Illumos-modified kernel for "full" Intel 2.18.x driver KMS 
functionality. The current driver binary for oi_151a utilizes the non-KMS 
features 

Also, it is now possible to watch 2-3 1080p streams with less than 20% CPU utilization with MPEG-4 AVC decoding using the va-api features and Intel GMA GPUs. 

Just a proof of concept and for fun at the moment.
