Intel 810 Video Driver Addition

[gerald.zajac]

This is a new video driver which supports the Intel 810 & 815 video chips which have the following ID's and names:

0x7121 810,
0x7123 810-dc100,
0x7125 810e,
0x1132 815,

The driver has been tested under Haiku alpha3 with all of the above chips except the 810-dc100 chip.

The attached zip file contains all the source, header, and jam files for this driver.

Spectacular!

I'll try to locate my i8xx-based machines tonight to test this with :)

I gave it a quick run over... it all looks really good. There were a few quirks with 3 vs two 2 returns before and after functions, however otherwise it passes the style smell test.

I do worry a little about some of the licensing in the i810_* files, changing as-is copyrights to mit can be tricky. (although you did document the original license, so those concerns may be moot)

Great work!!! umccullough, interested in your test results :)

Setting to development with a milestone of alpha 4.

It seems I'm out of luck this evening, my i810-based machine is not here. I suspect it's in storage at my mother's house.

commited in hrev44212 (and cleaned up)

I'm leaving this ticket open for testing. I don't have any i810 machines laying around so someone else needs to verify.

kallisti5; I downloaded nightly image hrev44215, and it does not contain the intel_810 driver or accelerant. If the nightly images don't contain the intel_810 driver or accelerant, it will be difficult for anyone the test it unless they build and install the driver and accelerant themselves.

[kallisti5]

Yup, as noted it hasn't been put into the images yet.

I was waiting for umccullough to do a quick test run before putting it into the image.. give it a few days, if he cannot I'll put it into the nightlies.

[umccullough]

It will be more than a few days at this point - I probably won't get a chance to locate my i810-based machine for a couple weeks at least.

I suggest throwing it in the nightlies and requesting on haiku-dev list that people test it once it gets there.

Added in hrev44219.

Unless you know that the driver is broken, and will cause problems, it's a good idea to add it to the image to prove you wrong :-)

That's pretty much what the nightlies are for, anyway.
