These drivers include support for 2D and 3D graphics features for the newest generation Intel graphics architecture. The project Web site is http://IntelLinuxGraphics.org. This release represents the start of a long term effort by Intel to work with the X.org and Mesa communities to continuously improve and enhance the drivers. While these drivers represent significant work at both Tungsten Graphics and Intel, as our first release of this code, they're still in need of significant testing, tuning and bug fixing before they'll be ready for production use. We're releasing them now to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing free software drivers for Intel hardware. The Intel=C2=AE 965 Express Chipset represents the first product family tha= t implements fourth generation Intel graphics architecture. Designed to support advanced rendering features in modern graphics APIs, this chipset family includes support for programmable vertex, geometry, and fragment shaders. By open sourcing the drivers for this new technology, Intel enable= s the open source community to experiment, develop, and contribute to the continuing advancement of open source 3D graphics. We would like to especially thank our partners at Tungsten Graphics - Alan Hourihane and Keith Whitwell - for developing the new 3D driver and enhanci= ng the 2D driver to support the new hardware.=20 Intel has assembled a team within the Open Source Technology Center to manage Intel graphics driver development going forward: Development Eric Anholt Guangdeng Liao Keith Packard Zhenyu Wang Testing Gordon Jin Shuang He Wang Wei Weiliang Chong Wu Nian Following the release of this driver, future work will continue in the public X.org and Mesa project source code repositories. The project Web sit= e, http://IntelLinuxGraphics.org, will serve as the central site for users of Intel graphics hardware in open source operating systems. --=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-UzCamDpC7sRHMdKfXW4P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBE2jrlQp8BWwlsTdMRAlBcAJsED+QiRKCCmlIJXoxFW6jkCg+m0QCcCCeu EN40okHCHaiH8jczjHIHBo0= =vcVn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-UzCamDpC7sRHMdKfXW4P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
