41 The <application>Xorg Intel Driver</application> package contains the
42 X.Org Video Driver for Intel integrated video chips including 8xx, 9xx,
43 Gxx, Qxx, HD, Iris, and Iris Pro graphics processors.

50 This driver is for Intel integrated GPU, and a development
51 version is needed to work properly with the latest hardware.
52 This version is now one year old and has some problems. The
53 <quote>Kernel Modes Setting (KMS)</quote> driver shipped along
54 with Xorg Server is said to give better results.

168 The SandyBridge New Acceleration (SNA) code is intended to replace the
169 old UXA (UMA Acceleration Architecture), but it is a large body of code
170 and may cause problems. However, the version of the code in the
171 version control system listed above has been tested successfully with
172 both SNA and UXA capabilities.
173 </para>
174
175 <para>
176 To work around this problem, as well as enabling support for UXA, it is
177 necessary to force UXA to be used by creating a configuration file. If
178 this problem applies to you, create the following file as the
179 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user and modify it as
180 needed:
