Intel Xe2 Lunar Lake & Battlemage Graphics Might Be Officially Supported With Linux 6.12
While the Linux 6.11 merge window ended just days ago, Intel engineers are already beginning to submit kernel graphics driver changes to the DRM-Next branch of material they want to get in for the Linux 6.12 cycle that will end out 2024
That's unfortunate considering Lunar Lake is launching at the start of September and thus any early adopters will need to jump to an in-development kernel version or roll their dice with Linux 6.11 depending upon how complete that support is. Main reason for being much earlier than usual is to have the additional SIMD16 EU reported as it's a needed UAPI for Lunar Lake and Battlemage. There's still one month to go to cross that finish line before the cut-off of new Direct Rendering Manager material for the Linux 6.12 merge window.
