Brian Paul07bec142006-11-03 17:43:20 +000041<li>New DRI memory manager system. Currently used by the i915tex driver.
42Other DRI drivers will be updated to use the new memory manager in coming
43months.
44<br>
45To use the new driver you'll need the most recent DRM library and drivers
46(version 2.2 or later) and a recent xf86-video-intel driver module from X.org.
47<br>
48New features resulting from this work include:
49<ul>
50<li>EXT_framebuffer_objects, render to texture
51<li>ARB_pixel_buffer_objects
52<li>Accelerated CopyTexSubimage, DrawPixels, ReadPixels, CopyPixels
53<li>Accelerated texture uploads from pixel buffer objects
54<li>Potentially texturing directly from the pixel buffer object (zero
55copy texturing).
56</ul>
57<li>New Intel i965 DRI driver
Brian Paul351feae2006-11-01 15:24:47 +000058<li>New <code>minstall</code> script to replace normal install program
