- Update to version 2.20.9:
  And so it came to pass that a critical bug was uncovered in UXA. The
  kernel does not like to pageflip when the pipe is off, yet due to the
  delayed nature of a pageflip and the relaxed checking performed by UXA,
  we could request a pageflip after turning off the display (DPMS). The
  kernel rejected that pageflip and the error handling path failed to
  restore sanity, and when the screen came back it was stuck on the image
  seen before it went to sleep. (Note that there are also some related
  kernel bugs, but this update should prevent the most conspicious of the
  freezes.) Many thanks to Timo Aaltonen for his efforts in tracking down
  the issue.
- In other news:

- Update to version 2.20.8:
  + Some bugs fixed, see below
  + Enabling ValleyView SDV
- Bugs fixed since 2.20.7:
  + Add an extra layer of defence against trying to use a non-GEM device
    with UXA. This should already be taken care of with the new probe,
    but the extra sanity check already existed in the code but was doing
    nothing.
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/962892
  + Fix computation of valid CRTCs bitmask for ZaphodHead
    Some systems can only handle certain outputs on certain pipes
    (Screens), and this information was not being propagated through to X
    and randr correctly, breaking valid configurations and not detecting
    invalid configurations correctly.
  + Disable global glyph caching with ZaphodHeads.
    The glyph privates need to be Screen private, but at the moment are
    global leading to conflicts and invalid rendering with multiple heads.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54707
  + Prevent direct read back of unmappable buffers
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54808
  + Tile large uploads whilst replacing the alpha channel
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54808
  + Correct the source offset when converting a RENDER composite
    operation into a BLT composite operation.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54868
  + Correct a minor typo in flattening alphamaps which caused the
    replacement pixmap to often end up with a height of zero.
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434860
  + Don't discard the CPU damage if only part is being replaced.
    This is most evident when combining software renders like Opera with
    accelerated rendering.

Sat Sep  8 22:52:39 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.7:
  Continuing the flurry of releases, this week saw the release of
  xorg-1.13 bringing with it the first steps towards hotpluggable gpu
  support and the ability to offload DRI rendering onto other GPUs. In
  light of that advance, this release includes the support code by Dave
  Airlie to integrate PRIME into xf86-video-intel and make those new
  features available.
- Aside from landing PRIME, a few other bugs were fixed since 2.20.6:
  + Fix framebuffer leak on server regeneration
  + Fix texture cache flushing on IvyBridge and Kwin with plastique
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54488
  + Redirect large solid fills on SandyBridge+. By large I mean greater
    than 8192 or 16384 pixels on SandyBridge and IvyBridge respectively.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54134
  + Fix up backlight option handling in the manpage and uxa.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54397
  + Unbreak ZaphodHeads.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52438

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep  3 13:32:02 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.6:
  A serious bug that caused a crash on SandyBridge and IvyBridge when
  mixing CPU and GPU operations on the same buffer, and an annoyance from
  bad scheduling of windowed swapbuffer updates causing low framerates and
  jitter. Plus the usual smattering of assertion fixes and a long standing
  issue with incoherent page access to a streaming buffer.
- Bugs fixed since 2.20.5:
  + Low frame rates in Blobby Valley when "fullscreen"
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54274
  + Incoherent concurrent access with the CPU and GPU
  + Add Option "Backlight" to override automatic selection of the
    backlight interface.
  + Avoid overwriting the composite operation info when testing if we
    can transfer the operation to the BLT.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep  3 13:32:01 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.5:
  Another silly bug found, another small bugfix release. The goal was for
  the driver to bind to all Intel devices supported by the kernel.
  Unfortunately we were too successful and started claiming Pouslbo,
  Medfield and Cedarview devices which are still encumbered by propietary
  IP and not supported by this driver.
- Bugs fixed since 2.20.4:
  + Only bind to Intel devices using the i915 kernel module
  + Regression in the bitmap-to-region code, e.g. icewm window buttons
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53699

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Aug 18 15:46:39 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.4:
  Continuing the small bugfix releases, the only real feature is initial
  enabling for Haswell for the purpose of rendering verification and
  validation - by no means is it complete!
- Bugs fixed since 2.20.3:
  + Some potential errors along failure paths found by a static analyser
    with the help of Zdenek Kablac.
  + Eliminate zero-sized rectangles from PolyFillRectangles as the code
    assumes that they did not exist and so caused corruption.
  + Remove the UXA warning for failing to tile the front buffer if it is
    disallowed by hardware, and so expected.
  + Fix the validation of the XV pipe parameter.
  + Fix 8x8 tiled pattern fills
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53353
  + Fix compile failure when using --with-builderstring
  + Restore w/a flush for gen4 fill/copy/video, fortunately rare
    operations as at least for fill/copy we prefer to use the BLT.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53119
  + Restore preferred use of the RENDER ring for SNB+ DRI copies.
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Aug  4 13:11:14 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.3:
  Just a minor bugfix for gen4 chipsets (965gm, gm45 and friends) that
  crept into 2.20.2. As an added bonus, the pessimistic workaround for a
  GPU hang on gen4 has been relaxed and the shaders have been overhauled
  which should pave the way to eliminating the last of the uncommon CPU
  operations, along with immediately realising a small performance
  improvement.
- Bugs fixed since 2.20.2:
  + Update DPMS bookkeeping after modeset
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52142
  + Avoid overlapping gpu/cpu damage after ignoring cpu damage in the
    consideration of placement for the operation.
  + Enable acceleration by default on 830gm/845g. The GMCH on this pair
    of chipsets is notoriously incoherent, so the GPU is almost certainly
    going to hang at some point, though unlikely to hang the system and
    should automatically disable acceleration (and thence behave
    identically as if the acceleration was disabled from the start).
    Option "NoAccel" can be used to disable all 2D acceleration and
    Option "DRI" can be used to disable all 3D acceleration.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52624
  + Fix vertex bookkeeping for gen4 that was causing corruption in the
    command stream.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jul 27 20:48:30 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.2:
  + FixedIvyBridge GT1 systems (HD2500 graphics) GPU hang
  + Support for the gmux backlight controller on Apple laptops
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52423
  + Fix X -configure not to list this driver as matching any Intel device,
    just the VGA class devices will do!
  + A crash in SNA when repeatedly switching xrandr rotations
  + Corruption in SNA observed in kwin on IvyBridge
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52473

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 23 12:00:46 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.1:
- Restore DRI for i810
- Fixed the SNA fallbacks on 64 bit causing screen corruption
- Bug fixes:
  + A bug affecting gen4 handling of trapezoids was fixed, and CPU
    overhead reduced.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52158
   + A fix for a bug causing corruption of a DRI2 unredirected client
     window that was resized whilst under a compositor.
   + Support for snoopable buffers on non-LLC architectures, coming to
     a future kernel. The aim to accelerate transfers between the CPU
     and the GPU, in particular to dramatically improve readback
     performance, and to further minimise clflushes.
   + Improvement to the composite performance on GT2 SandyBridge and
     IvyBridge devices, in particular the render copy is significantly
     improved.
   + Improved handling for when acceleration is disabled, including
     permitting DRI2 to remain supported even if the X server believes
     the GPU wedged.
   + Shadow support was dropped from UXA as it was neither complete nor
     correct, use SNA instead.
     
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jul 15 21:40:02 UTC 2012 - tobias.johannes.klausmann@mni.thm.de

- Update to version 2.20.0:
- A new acceleration method "sna" that aims to be faster and
    consume far less CPU than UXA is now available for selection at runtime.
- Bug fixes for UXA:
  + Use a white source whilst adding glyphs to the glyph mask
    (This fixes blank glyphs if using a font that mixes ARGB and A glyphs.)
  + Avoid fallbacks for glyph-to-dst in e.g. gnome-terminal
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50508
  + Force unused outputs off when VT switching
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50772
  + Copy the fbcon across to the Screen pixmap at startup.
    (This patch has been kicking around in the distributions for years.)
  + Many missed malloc failures checks and forgotten frees found by a static
    analyzer. Thanks Zdenek Kabelac!
  + Leak of the back buffer when terminating an application after pageflipping
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50670
  + Double check that the pipe is on before emitting a WAIT_ON_EVENT.
    In conjunction with an uptodate kernel, this should eliminate any
    hangs when changing resolutions or adding/removing displays.
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50668
  + Update to new Xorg APIs. Future proofing for the next generation of
    hotplug Xorg display servers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 10 20:34:03 UTC 2012 - badshah400@gmail.com

- Add U_Fix_uxa_Check_for_DPMS_off.patch to check for DPMS off
  before scheduling a WAIT_ON_EVENT when using uxa; fixes a
  critical regression introduced in a previous commit
  [bnc#768584].

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul  2 10:11:53 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- U_Avoid-calling-xf86nameCompare-with-a-NULL-string.patch/
  U_Fix-up-braindamage-in-previous-commit.patch
  * fixes Sig11 with missing driver name in xorg.conf (bnc#766059,
    fdo#51640)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 12 10:51:01 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- let require glamor package instead of recommending it, since the
  driver is linked against this library (there is not only a glamor
  Xserver module as I believed first!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jun  1 12:29:20 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- updated to latest git version 2.19.0_20120601_8eed569 with a lot
  of fixes for SNA and the configuration possibility to use UXA,
  SNA or GLAMOR 2D acceleration
- make again UXA the default, but als build SNA and GLAMOR backends
- recommend instead of require glamor package

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jun  1 09:24:27 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- remove hw supplements, add recommends to vaapi-intel-driver
  (bnc#764395)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 30 11:10:16 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- apparently building with "--disable-uxa --enable-glamor" is
  different from building with "--enable-glamor". The former
  resulted in an intel driver no longer working at all. The latter
  results in an "glamor"-enabled intel driver. So use the latter
  one. ;-)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 30 09:52:16 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- enable "glamor" for real

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat May 26 21:43:46 UTC 2012 - sndirsch@suse.com

- switched to "glamor" 2D acceleration

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat May 26 06:24:14 UTC 2012 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- Update to version 2.19.0, bugfixes and support
  for Ivy bridge server chipset.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 22 23:23:59 UTC 2012 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org

- Add proper "Supplements" so driver gets pulled automatically
  if the user has suitable hardware.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr 20 07:37:43 UTC 2012 - vuntz@opensuse.org

- Use %x11_abi_videodrv_req instead of static ABI Requires.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 18 15:51:24 UTC 2012 - vuntz@opensuse.org

- Split xf86-video-intel from xorg-x11-driver-video.
