[OpenIndiana-discuss] Σχετ: Fwd: Re[2]: [oi-dev] Stable Intel DRM/KMS Sol12 backport diffs and test bins

[ken mays]

I started with the Gigabyte Brix Pro. This one is handy for testing:http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5781#ov
I started testing the Intel Iris Pro Graphics P580 based chips, but any Iris Pro-seriesin the last 2-3 generations  is good enough.

Till now it was not possible to use Intelgraphics so I guess most people wereusing nVIDIA cards. However, once KMSwill be part of OI (or Illumos), people willhave no problem using it. For example,I tested the previous binary on an Intelmachine but it did not work. When I will goback to work, I will check the new binariesI just hope they will work just fine. I have 5 more machines there and I would like to upgrade to the hipster but I need a workingIntel driver! 
Best regards and thank you!
