[OpenIndiana-discuss] update (intel) graphics

[Stephan Althaus]

Hello!

For my personal like - and for a better acceptance of the oi-distro in
the world ;-)
i would like to update the (intel) graphics drivers to a recent state.

it seems to me that this is not an easy job to do,
as at a quick look these files are at minimum related:

gfx-drm/usr/src/uts/common/sys/agp/agpdefs.h
gfx-drm/usr/src/uts/common/drm/drm_pciids.h
gfx-drm/usr/src/uts/intel/io/i915/i915_drv.c
gfx-drm/usr/src/common/libdrm/libdrm-2.4.75/intel/intel_chipset.h
illumos-gate/usr/src/uts/intel/io/drm/i915_drv.h
illumos-gate/usr/src/uts/intel/io/drm/drm_pciids.h
illumos-gate/usr/src/uts/common/sys/agp/agpdefs.h
xf86-video-intel-4798e18b2b2c8b0a05dc967e6140fd9962bc1a73/src/intel_driver.h
xf86-video-intel-4798e18b2b2c8b0a05dc967e6140fd9962bc1a73/src/i915_pciids.h
xf86-video-intel-4798e18b2b2c8b0a05dc967e6140fd9962bc1a73/xvmc/i915_xvmc.h

 ... broad spread and some files are 'old' ...

I am a beginner, but also would like to provide some help (minimum at
testing)
- i dont know the right way how to achieve the goal.
where should i start? what are the steps?
Someone willing to act as a mentor??

All hints and opinions are welcome :-)

Thanks for listening!

Greetings,
Stephan
