new EMGD driver?

Post by Dominik »

You can read that there is a new driver at "Linux Mint 9 is officially supported".

- Better 2D, 3D (Visual Effects) support.
- Suspend/Resume working.

In comparison with PSB drivers:
- Xv video playback works fine.
Is there a chance to use that driver at other distributions? Is Xorg 1.7 supported?

At http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/#download I can just find:

Fedora* 11 (Timesys kernel 2.6.29, X.server 1.6 DRI2)
MeeGo 1.0 IVI Linux (kernel 2.6.33.3, X.server 1.8.0)

So, I can't even find "Mint Linux".

Official supported doesn't necessarily mean that Intel supports Linux Mint (which in fact is some sort of an ubuntu derivate). It's just the solution proposed and supported by Compullab. The "new" driver will be available Q1 2011, see:
