my main question here always what's about the kernel? on page:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2011Q3.html
there are more component libva, mesa and kernel.
i assume mesa-7.11 can be build on rhel-6 and update the default os's
mesa package and the same true for libva? or not?
but what about the kernel?
is the latest rhel-6 kernel enough for this intel graphics? since if not
then there is no reason for the above packages? or is there any patches
to the latest rhel-6 kernel which make it "enough/capable" for this?
anyone know the answers to these questions?
