Intel Enabling Linux Driver Display Support For Upcoming "Battlemage" GPUs
Intel's open-source Linux graphics driver engineers have been busy working to enable the display support for the upcoming Battlemage graphics cards as the successor to DG2/Alchemist.
Over the past number of months Intel's open-source Linux developers have been working to enable the Xe2 graphics engine as will be found in integrated form with Lunar Lake CPUs while also being the same architecture for the much anticipated Battlemage discrete GPUs. Since earlier this month they've also begun volleying patches for enabling display output handling specifically for Battlemage with their Linux kernel driver. We'll see how it ultimately plays out but in building off all the DG2/Alchemist work, the Linux driver experience this time around should be much smoother.
