Intel graphics driver broken on 10-RC5

[David Chisnall]

Hi Johannes,

Are you using the packaged Xorg in both cases?  Currently, the default for 10 is the old (pre-KMS) X.org and the default for 11 (HEAD) is the newer (post-KMS) one.  If you're using the default one, would you mind trying the new one?  You can build it from ports by putting this in your make.conf:

WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
WITH_GALLIUM=yes

I'm currently running it with AMD graphics on 10-RC4 and finding it works a lot better than the older version, and we're considering enabling it for the 10.0-RELEASE.  The down side is that, without newcons, you lose working VTs after X has started.
