Compiling and/or upgrading graphics drivers in Linux is a complex
and error-prone task. Here is a user guide for how to build the driver from scratch. If you are not experienced doing this,
we recommend that you get precompiled
packages from one of the many Linux distributions.
The Intel driver for X.org is available from the public X.org git repository:
2) Mesa 3D GL driver
The GL drivers are available from the public Mesa git repository:
The DRM and AGPGART kernel modules are available from Linux kernel.
The latest Intel code is maintained at the public drm intel kernel git repository:
The LIBDRM modules are available from the public DRM git repository :
The VAAPI library and Intel driver are available from their public git repositories:
3D driver: mesa master branch
Kernel: drm-intel-fixes branch (fixes on top of current RC or final release) or drm-intel-next branch (proposed patches for next kernel version)
LIBDRM: freedesktop.org drm master branch
