What's the deal with Intel and the new kernel?

Hi
I have trouble understanding the whole deal behind Intel's video drivers and the new kernel. What doesn't work and why? Could someone please try to explain what the problem is in a way so that a newbie like me can understand it?
Thanks

Intel and Linux are transitioning to a new graphics system. We're in the middle of the transition, so everything's kinda suckish right now. Old kernel and drivers are better, development kernel and drivers are almost as good, and they will get much better soon.

  • What is the deal with MP4s and Itunes?

    Why does quicktime and Itunes always put "This document could not be opened"/"Quicktime does not support this file type"/"An invalid public movie atom was found in this file". Only about 2 movies have work in Itunes, and one became corrupted and kept making itunes close whenever I played it. WHAT DOES IT WANT? It says it wants MP4/M4V and I've tried both.

    What movies? From what source?  While mp4 is more restrictive than some containers it can still hold many variants of audio and video.  iTunes is limited in codec support.

    Hello,
    Versions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are actually patched version of APEX 3.1. As such, they don’t introduce new features, but mainly fix bugs from the main release. If you want to learn specific details about these versions, you should read the readme file attached to the patch set files (on metalink).
    It’s always best to work with the latest patched version, as it reduces your chances to encounter bugs. In general, so far the new APEX versions added many new features and technologies, while maintaining backward compatibility, so existing applications functionality is not impaired. Personally, I don’t see any reason not to upgrade and use the latest version, certainly when you are comparing 3.1 to 3.1.2.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • What are the new features on the DESKTOP version of LR 6?

    I was going to upgrade until I had a chat with customer service and was told that the new HDR, photo merge, etc, were not on this version. Why should I spend the $79 to upgrade.  What does the new version have.  I have been using LR 4 successfully with other Adobe software products.

    Seems like you were given misinformation.
    These features are present in Lightroom 6. Here is a complete list

    Just check below link..would be helpful..
    http://www.oracle.com/global/ap/openworld/ppt_download/database_manageability%2011g%20overview_230.pdf
    and
    Each release of Oracle has many differences, and Oracle 10g is a major re-write of the Oracle kernel from Oracle 9i. While there are several hundred new features and other differences between 9i and 10g, here are the major differences between Oracle9i and Oracle10g:
    Major changes to SQL optimizer internals
    Oracle Grid computing
    AWR and ASH tables incorporated into Oracle Performance Pack and Diagnostic Pack options
    Automated Session History (ASH) materializes the Oracle Wait Interface over time
    Data Pump replaces imp utility with impdp
    Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM)
    SQLTuning Advisor
    SQLAccess Advisor
    Rolling database upgrades (using Oracle10g RAC)
    dbms_scheduler package replaces dbms_job for scheduling
    and you need to refer oracle documentation for sql, plsql references where you will know particular enhancements made...
    thanks

  • What are the new features for the latest version ...

    what are the new features for the latest version of N6300? can you cite me the newest features?

    The latest update was just bug fixes and improved stability, no new features. That is nearly always the case with series 40 phones like the 6300.
    Nokia do not make the changelogs available publicly but often they do appear on unofficial sites. Searching google may provide you with more detailed info that cannot be posted here.

  • What is the new features of asha 311 version 7.36

    Can anybody tell me what is the new features in new software version 7.36 of asha 311 ????..........

    ^ I've only noticed updated apps. You get new mail, new chat, twitter with push notifications, updated notifications app, added some pre-installed games from gameloft and EA. That's it. UI or menu saw no changes. One change is the volume too loud note when earphones are plugged in.
    Sad thing is that the chipset won't allow you to downgrade. So update only if you're ready to get those updated apps

    It is a term used to indicate several processes attempting to use the same resource that is not capable of servicing all these at the same time. This could be due to the resource not being thread safe or implemented as a serialised resource.

  • WHAT IS THE NEW FEATURES RM-702 V 06.97 SOFTWARE ...

    WHAT IS THE NEW FEATURES RM-702 V 06.97  SOFTWARE OF C2-03?

    Hey, thanks. I had done that before and it says 7.91 is the latest. So, assuming updates is not avaiable in my Region and 7.91 is the latest for my product code, But even when I go here --> http://www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate  and choose Nokia 5130 XM, it still says: "Latest software release for Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is 07.91" regardless of Region / Product Code. Logically it should display the latest version, right? (Don't tell me it has something to do with your location and IP address, coz I used VPN and changed my IP to US and it still says 7.91 is the latest.) I'm really confused.   I really want a straight answer.
    Are there 7.95 or 7.96 or 7.97 out there?
    Has anyone ever updated from 7.91 to 7.95 or to 7.96 or 7.97?
    Can anyone confirm that there is a 7.95 or 7.96 or 7.97 pre-installed?
    Anyway, back to the original questions:
    1. What is the latest firmware for '5130c-2 XM' as of Jan 2011?  <-- I want someone go here --> http://www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate and enter 5130 in the quick search box and see what is the latest version. I know it's asking too much, but I really appreciate the effort. Thanks in advance.
    2. Is there possible to download firmware file to my PC and copy it to my phone memory then update my phone from there?  <-- I really want an answer for this,

    What exactly is wrong with it and can it be fixed?
    If you have AppleCare and/or iPod Nano is still under warranty, give them a call.  If not, take the computer to your local Apple Store or AASP.  The staff will tell you what is wrong w/it and let you know if it can be fixed after it is examined.

  • What is the new sap note for Ptax slabs of FY 2011-12.

    Dear Experts,
                       we are currently using  ECC  6.0, release 604, patch level 0035 and support package SAPKE60435. professional tax slabs not updated in table V_T7INP4.
    what is the new sap note for Ptax slabs of FY 2011-12.

    Hi,
    The Profession Tax tables T7INP3 & T7INP4 are customizing tables in which the entries are to be modified. SAP provides the initial entries and, if there is any change in slab rates, then you would need to update these slabs manually.
    Please delimit the slab code in table T7INP3 and then create a new slab code entry from the date of delimition for the new rates in table T7INP4.
    Regards,
    Nishtha
