FreeBSD Port: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel

[John Stokes-2]

Hi guys

Any chance of seeing the latest Intel 2.4.0 drivers ported across to
FreeBSD -it finally supports the G35 chipset that my motherboard
uses.Yes I know they have only been released last Wednesday ;-)     but
I am prepared to wait so I can finally get my motherboard working (only
VESA at present).

Regards

John

For what it is worth, I also have 3 computers using VESA at the moment
that use G35.

I'll happily commit it if you can test it.

Just bump PORTVERSION to 2.4.0, run `make makesum` and `make all install clean`.

I just tested it on two laptops here and it works fine on both of them.

One of them has a 915GM chipset and the other one has a 965GM.

I have had to run with the NoAccel option turned on for a while but
that is now no longer neccesary. Very nice.

Quick question for you Christian, you were running with NoAccel, were
you getting this error with it?

Error in I830WaitLpRing(), timeout for 2 seconds
(WW) intel(0): PRB0_CTL (0x0001f001) indicates ring buffer enabled
(WW) intel(0): PRB0_HEAD (0x13e1ad64) and PRB0_TAIL (0x0001afa8)
indicate ring buffer not flushed
(WW) intel(0): Existing errors found in hardware state.

I'd love if this new version has fixed this problem.

I don't remember getting it. I have only saved one Xorg log file from
the old driver and that error is not in there.

It might have been there on the other laptop though...
