= Intel® Linux PowerVR !Graphics/Media Drivers for CedarTrail =

== Version 1.0.2 Product Release ==

August 20, 2012 (WW34)

 * This is a minor, ''internal release'' only. Should this package be exposed
   externally, the exposing entity would need to ensure all proper procedures
   have been followed and legal obligations met.
 * The most recent formal release was **version 1.0.2**.

This is a scheduled **version 1.0.3** minor release for the Linux accelerated
graphics/media driver on the CedarTrail platform. It plugs a memory leak in
the VAAPI driver component identified by a customer. Only the VAAPI driver
component was modified in this release-- the kernel and userspace components
are unchanged from the version 1.0.2 release.

These graphics/media drivers are ported from Imagination Technologies (IMG)
Device Driver Kit (DDK) version 1.7 ED862890.

The quality assessment report for this release can be obtained by contacting
your Intel(R) support representative.

=== Known Issues ===

 * When a system has >= 4 GiB RAM and is running a PAE-enabled kernel, the
   display is non-functional (#295)
  * Work-around: Distribute kernel with CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G enabled or pass the
    `mem=4G` kernel cmdline argument at boot-time
 * There is no 64-bit support in the driver
 * Display head support limited to those configurations specified in
   ''Supported Features''
 * Minimal X Video Extension (Xv) is provided for legacy applications
   but is not formally supported
 * Very limited support for OpenGL API ("big GL"). (#101 #107 #230)
 * Poor 2D rendering performance through Xlib protocol. (#9 #125 #126)
 * H.264 media playback on external displays can show increased artifacts,
   frame dropping, flickering, and jerky playback. (#143 #149)
 * Tearing artifacts when using Xv to play back non-accelerated video at
   full-screen resolution. (#231)
 * Certain HTML5/WebGL demos exhibit artifacts and poor performance. (#123 #128
   #172 #181)

=== !Requirements/Dependencies ===

This is not a comprehensive list of dependencies.  However, the ones listed are
hard requirements and will generally resolve any indirect dependencies when
installed by a package manager.

There are multiple driver bundles available, each with an arbitrary code name
for easily identifying that bundle's package dependencies. Those code names are
defined below.

The following dependency sets are supported:

Bundle "Ant"
 * Kernel: 3.0.0
 * Mesa GL: 7.9
 * Xorg: 1.9

Bundle "Bee"
 * Kernel: 3.1.0
 * Mesa GL: 7.11
 * Xorg: 1.11

For each driver bundle:
 * gcc >= 4.5.1
 * libc >= 2.11.90
 * libdrm >= 2.4.25
 * libva >= 1.0.14
 * Patched libwsbm 1.1.0+ (provided in release)
 * pixman >= 0.22.0
