Brian Paul07bec142006-11-03 17:43:20 +0000[diff] [blame]35<li>New DRI memory manager system. Currently used by the i915tex driver.
36Other DRI drivers will be updated to use the new memory manager in coming
37months.
38<br>
39To use the new driver you'll need the most recent DRM library and drivers
40(version 2.2 or later) and a recent xf86-video-intel driver module from X.org.

43<ul>
44<li>EXT_framebuffer_objects, render to texture
45<li>ARB_pixel_buffer_objects
46<li>Accelerated CopyTexSubimage, DrawPixels, ReadPixels, CopyPixels
47<li>Accelerated texture uploads from pixel buffer objects
48<li>Potentially texturing directly from the pixel buffer object (zero
49copy texturing).
