https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236003 [email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #43 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Theron Tarigo from comment #42) "Can someone explain to me why "modesetting" is "the future" and xf86-video-intel is "legacy"? My experience has been that either Modesetting is fundamentally broken in design, or it really is just a bug for its entire existence that it allows frame-tearing." My understanding was the upstream Xorg development was moving to treating modesetting as the default graphics driver, and the intel ddx will eventually be deprecated. i believe many linux distro's also have moved to make modesetting the default as well. having said that - i agree, modesetting in its current state does give sub-optimal performance. it makes sense to me that this assumption that modesetting is really where the vendors are heading should be challenged. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
