we should get this in 1.3 release

It's just too late for something like this in 1.3!

Nitin, we have a couple options. If it is deemed to destableizing for 1.3 oe-core, we can either:

1) Consider carrying it in meta-intel

2) Live with what we have for the 1.3 meta-intel release

We had the goal of being done with meta-intel much closer to the 1.3 release of the Yocto Project, so something like this is late even for meta-intel. Can you point at a clear set of benefits for making the update now? Does it fix some graphics corruption? Does it reduce vertical tearing? Fix a build issue? Enable more hardware? Improve framerate by more than 10%? If it doesn't do any of the above, we might be best off waiting for 1.4 for this update.

erm ... "too destabilizing"

Darren,
  I did not notice any of the issues you mentioned. The main reason I brought it forward, was for matching graphics stack of Yocto release with a released/anounced Intel Graphics Stack. As this is the 1st time we are tracking the Intel Graphics Stack, I think it is ok to be not perfect with the 1st attempt. But this is a routine process I am starting to track the Intel graphics stack. So you can expect more such bugs will be opened by me in the future. And I am sure we will be in better situation to handle these requirements in the future.

FWIW, I have a 2.20.8 upgrade in my ross/xorg branch:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=ross/xorg

I took changes from the rosse's 2.20.8 recipe into my 2.20.0 recipe, and things are working fine with it. But I am not sure what value Ross's changed add, Ross can you explain?

Thanks,
Nitin

I make xvmc (previously disabled) a packageconfig option (default to off), and SNA (new in 2.20, defaults to on) a packageconfig option (default to off).

Turning on SNA means the driver binary grows by approximately 1MB.

Patches on the mailing list waiting to be merged.
