If you are trying to use MPEG2 / H.264 VA-API video acceleration, you will also need to be pulling libva (the VA-API library) from Git as the Sandy Bridge support upbringing is in no official release either. For the proper Sandy Bridge experience you are left looking for the Linux 2.6.37 kernel, Mesa 7.10, the latest libdrm, and the xf86-video-intel 2.14.0 DDX that should be released in the next week or so. Intel has been working on Sandy Bridge open-source Linux support going back a year now, and some of the DRM and DDX bits have been living in mainline trees for months, but it's not the polished and proper support.

So that they could then run the Phoronix Test Suite.Īs I've been saying, Ubuntu 10.10 will not work fully with the Sandy Bridge CPU's graphics as its stack is too old.

Intel decided not to send out any Sandy Bridge CPU samples to us, so we are unable to deliver test results, but all I got were frustrated journalists asking me how to get the Sandy Bridge graphics working under Linux. While we can easily jump those hurdles, not everyone can and it's a hassle for many Linux users. To summarize that, the support should be in place aside from LM_Sensors potentially not working with some of the new H67/P67 motherboards and to utilize the next-generation Intel graphics you will need to jump over some hurdles at this time. Last month I already wrote at length about the support status of Intel Sandy Bridge in terms of its new chipsets and the CPUs. Is there any Linux graphics test results for the Core i3 2100, Core i5 2400, Core i5 2500K, and Core i7 2600K? Unfortunately, there is not.

The NDA though expired at midnight on these first CPUs so there is now a stream of reviews coming out. This week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (I'll be there again looking out for Linux), Intel will officially launch their next-generation Sandy Bridge micro-architecture and CPUs.
