New, Updated Drivers Coming To Linux 2.6.32
,----[ Quote ]
| Over three dozen Linux staging drivers are mentioned, but there's a few
| interesting comments in particular. For instance, Google's Android drivers
| may end up being dropped from the staging tree within the Linux 2.6.32
| cycle. While Android uses Linux and Google is quite friendly with Linux
| and different open-source projects, the developers working on the upstream
| Android drivers aren't caring whether or not this code enters the mainline
| kernel. Instead these developers are just concerning themselves with
| running the drivers on the Linux 2.6.29 kernel they currently are using.
| If this continues to occur, the Android drivers will disappear from the
| staging tree. In a similar situation, Microsoft's Hyper-V drivers may end
| up getting dropped in the Linux 2.6.33 release.

The Next Round
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest version of Linux offers a whole host of new features â for
| example a USB 3.0 infrastructure, drivers for the Sound Blaster X-Fi,
| KMS support for Radeon chips and improved versions of Btrfs and Ext4.
| As is traditional with new Linux versions in the main development
| branch, however, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

KMS Page-Flipping Ioctl Ready For Linux 2.6.32
,----[ Quote ]
| Kristian HÃgsberg has announced that the work he and Jesse Barnes, Jakob
| Bornecrantz, and Chris Wilson have been working on for the past few months is
| now ready for prime-time action. This work is the mode-setting page-flip
| ioctl for the kernel DRM. What this work basically leads to is tear-free
| updating of the screen with low-latency page-flipping.
