Kernel Log - Main development phase of Linux 2.6.32 completed
,----[ Quote ]
| With the first release candidate of Linux 2.6.32, last
| night, Linus Torvalds completed the main development
| phase of the next version of Linux on the main
| development branch. As the kernel hackers already
| integrate most of a new kernel version's major changes
| into the source code management system during this
| phase, called the merge window, 2.6.32-rc1 is already
| a good indicator of the most important new features
| due for release with Linux 2.6.32 in early December.

5 Things You Can Do to Put Linux in the Driver Seat
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's what we can do:
|
| 1. Any time you find a piece of hardware that
| doesn't have a Linux driver, write to the
| manufacturer and request that a Linux version become
| available for it.
|
| 2. Boycott any hardware that doesn't explicitly work
| with Linux.
|
| 3. Check hardware compatibility lists and only
| purchase hardware that does work with Linux.

Linux 2.6.32-rc1
,----[ Quote ]
| It's been two weeks (and then some - but with last
| week being LinuxCon and Plumbers conf I extended it
| by a few days), and as usual that means that the merge
| window is all over and done with. 2.6.32-rc1 is out,
| so give it a whirl.

Kernel Log - Devtmpfs in 2.6.32, more discussion about DRBD, new stable kernels
,----[ Quote ]
| The development of Linux 2.6.32 is in full swing â
| although the integration of devtmpfs into the main
| development branch has caused considerable friction.
| The integration of DRBD, which already seemed certain,
| is also being debated again. X Server 7.5 is making
| progress as the developers release the first RC and
| several new drivers.

DRM Changes For Linux 2.6.32 Kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| David Airlie has just called for the first DRM pull
| request for the Linux 2.6.32 kernel. To no surprise,
| R600/700 3D support can be found within the Direct
| Rendering Manager code as with kernel mode-setting
| support for these newer ATI Radeon graphics cards.

KVM Virtualization Performance With Linux 2.6.31

| These test results are designed to give just a basic
| overview of the level of KVM virtualization performance
| in different areas. Eventually we will run a larger set

Linux kernel 2.6.32: virtualization, power management and more drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| Less than a week after Linux kernel 2.6.31 was released, the kernel
| developers are beginning to submit changes and improvements across
| virtualization, power management, file systems and device driver
| code for the upcoming 2.6.32 version.
|
| When releasing the 2.6.31 kernel, maintainer Linus Torvalds said
| the amount of device driver code has been steadily increasing since
| 2.6.27, but 2.6.32 will continue to aggressively add in bug fixes
| and performance enhancements across the entire code base.

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.

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.
