Hi! I think Skylake support is brand new in Linux too so we still have a long road before we get there. Dependending on the number of contributors, it could be next year, but very hard to say at this point. > How far do the recent imports / porting from Linux > and any new native FreeBSD code that were used > to support Haswell translate towards SkyLake? The next update will bring i915 to Linux 3.8, released in early 2013. So before reaching Skylake, there are Valleyview and Broadwell on the path. > What is Linux's current status on SkyLake?

I guess exactly like Radeon firmwares are handled (ie. kernel modules). > Is Intel's documentation sufficient? Probably.

We (the graphics stack team) will come with plans so it's easy to share the maintenance of the kernel drivers, because it's very difficult right now. We will discuss this here once the current i915 update is committed.= --=20 Jean-S=E9bastien P=E9dron --rw8cToD1oA2w3pD0NM8AER2x0D3poSOro Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJWL8PGXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NzA4N0ZEMUFFQUUwRTEyREJDNkE2RjAz OUU5OTc2MUE1RkQ5NENDAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMFKMQAM6DNClQqovKLvCuGhs+PHhO r2zp3S7egfXNajIWxXckxV3iwod/0o/ZT+Cx+Lh1TfmOFIqoQmEWUSBdV74icT1n 7N+eucp0Ku630Z5/RYcLLXeAV0ejszzUHxzb0JpX/XMlO24UzeeGftJ6y16w4I7X dH7xTrjbyjYfVQOswjtiXTFjetw4EFNWzrldW5qgJeobAvCSH7ECev6/4VYA3bW3 hglpfF8G0e/tEPXgIfqaZPZtlyvdG2wKum0qYo4HSzLwi40o5mzOEMN+53paId8C UdYQuxY/1ZaGpMxURahRbYvObpwn24qo1x65ixBZ3EIVxIhEd+UW6iKX0H8LuZn4 jq/bYmEKaKWiZC7oAWVVOX/F6j4sBIzHThH9VPOJUNniNLIJeNrTA/Kx50fVnrhN RfBD+RIzVNUU3LVttsn6nX0YOEZIxg6idp/fZbpuY6rX9f+/4qCjhWFYCHaVIpNA DifS3sD//DytWr32PlEw5r+aBPoBSbnkYIxJkaVMZuOuTVv5SQk5wwjW6pF3Xy1a QBvEfKItSxkzAmtsWV5ms65zq/qwW+Rg7sZji7XCABjYtwLyNSWoT5MCMlEFnqlD 0aRdEleZjjQJVIMUtdQyPk8MiK/TbsNLczysZiEywGj3jTZqQ94Uvk1rQJm/MvZw k9zVTf+imOeZwi981oF4 =MGk8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rw8cToD1oA2w3pD0NM8AER2x0D3poSOro--
