Hi guys (especially tpowa and JGC),
the new Kernel has GEM. Shall we try to compile xf86-video-intel-2.5.x against it because it makes sense now and see if it creates trouble b4 we release it to core?
Just a guess.

I'm running the 2.6 prerelease series for a while on my laptop now. My first impressions: - EXA is even slower than it was with 2.4.3 - UXA is much faster - XAA not tested - 3D is horribly slow - Compiz doesn't draw window decorations due to some breakage in libdrm If we want to use 2.5.x or 2.6 when it comes out, we have to grab a mesa snapshot from git master to get GEM support in mesa also. As xorg-server 1.6 shouldn't be far away anymore, I think we can wait for the next stable release of mesa that has GEM support.
