TTM is dead, long live TTM! Seriously though, if you want the next cool acceleration stuff (which should work though, it's supposed to be in a mergeable state), you'll need to fetch all the Xorg stack from git. Using Donnie's "x11" overlay is probably a good idea. As far as I'm concerned, TTM was never officially released so I have no plans to back port and/or support something that nobody else really cares about. Feel free to re-enable TTM in an overlay though :) (In reply to comment #1) > Seriously though, if you want the next cool acceleration stuff (which should > work though, it's supposed to be in a mergeable state), No, just TTM. GEM requieres too many (not working) patches to the kernel sources or grabbing anholt's tree from fdo, which doesn't compile for me. > you'll need to fetch > all the Xorg stack from git. I just downgradeded from all git snapshots to stable releases, except libdrm and x11-drm. I'm not going to change all the stack again. > Using Donnie's "x11" overlay is probably a good > idea. Shouldn't work, since x11-drm doesn't create any i915 modules if OS_HAS_GEM isn't defined. Plus it's not GEM I want. > As far as I'm concerned, TTM was never officially released so I have no plans > to back port and/or support something that nobody else really cares about. > > Feel free to re-enable TTM in an overlay though :) I'm currently doing this. So another year for i915 users without any serious 3D acceleration. Small update, I posted a small guide on the Gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-706953.html Maybe it works for some people. |
