The Mesa ports were updated to 10.6.8. At the same time the + ports received a major overhaul to make sure all ports are + correctly configured. + Also the dual version support was removed, there is only one + mesa version for all supported FreeBSD versions. + The libosmesa port was merged into the Mesa framework.
+ +Another big item that was included in the Mesa port was + OpenCL. There are two GPU based OpenCL implimentations + namely: + lang/clover for supported Radeon cards and + lang/beignet for supported Intel cards (currently only + Ivybridge). + Thanks go to Johannes Dieterich, O. Hartman, and Koop Mast + for making this happen.
+ +Now that Mesa is up-to-date, we can do the same with the + X.Org server. + Currently at 1.14, an update to 1.17 is ready. + It should be committed shortly.
+ +On the kernel side progress has been made with the + i915 update. The driver is able to attach. + There are some reports that the X.Org server starts, but Mesa + is unhappy so acceleration doesn't work yet. + If you want to test, instructions will be posted on the wiki, + in the i915 update article (see links). + At this stage, we can only accept patches though, we won't be + able to provide support.
+ +We attended two conferences: XDC 2015 in Toronto and + EuroBSDcon 2015 in Stockholm. + Reports will be posted on the blog.
