Hi Michel, thanks for keeping an eye on the commits. Michel Dänzer <daenzer@debian.org> (20/06/2011): > This is wrong. r300g works fine without LLVM. The reason for the > dependency is that without LLVM, Gallium's software vertex processing is > very slow. But this only affects integrated GPUs without vertex shaders, > which are only available for x86 CPUs. AFAICT, configure disagrees. But it's strange-ish anyway, so it might just need some targeted patching. > > commit 7d332507bbffa1fdb59723808ef39b9e50983e16 > > Author: Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> > > Date: Sun Jun 19 15:37:18 2011 +0200 > > > > Stop building i915g at all. > > > > It's apparently never going to be a suitable replacement for i915c. > > According to whom?

Still not ready to replace the existing DRI drivers? 2011-02-01 02:20:02[@airlied] KiBi: not planned 2011-02-01 02:20:52[ KiBi] even with s/replace/coexist/ for some specific usecases? 2011-02-01 02:21:14[ KiBi] (I'm wondering what to ship in our mesa packages) 2011-02-01 02:21:44[@airlied] classic 2011-02-01 02:22:05[ KiBi] alrighty, thanks. (and ajax seems to agree.) As for today, airlied said i965g is apparently going nowhere, while i915g might be a useful replacement for certain cases. As discussed on IRC, I gathered that from #intel-gfx, which I thought was a good place to gather intel-related intel. Mraw, KiBi.
