Greetings, Just a brief message to inform everyone that we now have a release candidate for the Geode 2.11.9 video driver for X.org. [1] Please test it extensively and immediately report any significant regression directly into the X.org Bugzilla. [2]
This particular release focuses on fixing rendering regressions and on bringing our codebase in line with current X.org best practices. This time, most of the attention was given to the LX component of our driver. Meanwhile, the GX2 component of our driver, while still in a usable state, would require some attention to perform the same type of upgrades that we did on the LX component. This will probably be our main focus for the 2.11.10 release. This release also marks the return of AMD to the development of the Geode driver, following a two-year hiatus resulting from the unfortunate departure of Jordan Crouse due to random attrition at AMD. Thus, I'd like us all to welcome Hunk Cui and Frank Huang from AMD China to the X.org team! Kudos also go to Mart Raudsepp for mentoring Hunk and Frank into the Free Software development methods, as well as to Michel Dänzer and Jonathan Martin for answering their difficult questions about the intricacies of Pixman.
