Here is the third release candidate in preparation for the upcoming
2.7.0 release.

As before, the main improvements since the 2.6-series driver include:

	SDVO-TV support, available on ADD2 card (bug#9992) and
	D945GCLF2 board (bug#17776).

	Basic SDVO-LVDS support

	Tearing-free xv (bug#19635)

	For for panel startup failure on some specific laptop models
	(bug#17292) and various fixes for UXA/DRI2 and Kernel
	Modesetting.

Please give it a try and report bugs as usual (referring to
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html).

The remaining bugs we plan to fix before release 2.7.0 are being
tracked here (5 remaining at the time of this writing):

The URL above also links to some 25 bugs fixed during the 2.7 process
so far. Many of which are noted in the log below. We offer our thanks
to the many users, bug reporters, and engineers working so hard to
improve our driver!
