- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
  Initial version: 2.18.0.
