IntelX. Org2.2 display driver coming soon

IntelX. Org2.2: the driver is coming soon-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. For more information, see the following. The latest 2.2 X.org driver for Intel Graphics is coming soon! When I heard this message, I was very excited! Why? As an Intel GMA950 user and Compiz Fusion user, this Intel 2.2 X.org driver will definitely have a big impact on users like me!

Users of Intel integrated graphics card and Compiz Fusion must have some experience. Although the performance of Intel graphics card is not poor, it also provides better support for AIGLX, it can be said that the display card with the best support in GNU/Linux (almost no need to do it yourself), but there are still many problems with its X.org display driver. An obvious example is:

In Compiz Fusion, users of Intel integrated graphics cards cannot use special effects such as Blur Windows, Motion Blur, and Reflection, this makes us sorry.

I submitted an issue in the official Compiz Fusion forum where I was unable to open the Reflection special effect. I was told that the reason why Intel showed the driver was not why Compiz Fusion. Since then, I have been waiting for Intel to release a new display driver.

After a long time, I finally got a message today!

Since xf86-video-intel 2.0 driver release has been six months, And xf86-video-intel 2.1.1 release has been two months, the new Intel Graphics X.org driver is brewing soon!

The Intel X. Org 2.2 graphics card driver will include a considerable number of fixes and enhancements to the 2.1 drive Bug. These include: default support for EXA (defaulting to EXA as opposed to XAA), 965 IGP correction, and improved support for integrated G33/35 graphics cards. Currently, 2.1.99, A prerelease of xf86-video-intel 2.2, has been announced for release.

I think xf86-video-intel 2.2 is coming soon.
