Intel Sends in a Final Batch Of DRM Feature Updates Targeting Linux 4.19 (phoronix.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: After several big feature pull requests of new "i915" Intel DRM driver features landing in DRM-Next for Linux 4.19, the Intel open-source developers have sent in what they believe to be their last batch of feature changes for queuing this next kernel cycle. Feature activity has dwindled compared to the earlier pull requests, but this latest gathering of patches does include Intel GVT vGPU huge-page support for guests, continued Panel Self Refresh (PSR) fixes/clean-ups, GMBUS improvements for HDCP v2.2 compliance, GEM memory management improvements, and other display code improvements.

Intel puts DRM SHIT into Linux *** FUCK YOU INTEL by Anonymous Coward · 2018-07-14 00:57 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Don't listen to people saying "it's good"
It's BAD DRM (digital restrictions) inside the Linux DRM (direct rendering)
HDCP = Content Protection
This prevents you from keeping what you paid for. Stealing electricity to its stupid algorithm.
Nothing about DRM is useful to you. It is meant to deprive you of what is rightfully yours.
BAD INTEL! Shame on you Intel! You disgusting piece of garbage
