Bug#732635: mesa: please enable "ilo" intel gallium driver



Package: mesa
Version: 10.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

please enable "ilo" intel gallium driver. "ilo" is an experimental driver for
latest intel GPU. The driver name doesn't conflict with the default intel
driver, so it can be built and shipped in the standard driver package.

Note that the driver is limited in features and it's currently slower than
standard driver. However it can be used as an alternative in case someone
want to try it or has problem with the standard driver.

I already enabled it myself in the debian package and it builds fine.

The driver can be enabled by users adding something like this in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
 Identifier "Device0"
 Driver "Intel"
 Option "DRI" "ilo"
EndSection

Thanks.
