RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description VIRENDRASINGH RAJPUT 2022-11-30 01:27:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
THe customer need an rpm package of the newest snapshot from master branch of the xf86-video-intel X11 module

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/-/tree/31486f40f8e8f8923ca0799aea84b58799754564

As they (and we) can seem, the latest snapshot version in RHEL 8 AppStream Repo is 20200205. They need 20210115.
(notice: x11 display server is not run as root, but as normal user)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel


They need this to Fix screen tearing issues. For solving problems with tearing, the configured the following in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf :
Section "Module" 
    Load "dri3"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "DRI"   "3"
EndSection


When using xorg-x11-drv-intel in RHEL version 20200205 with this config file they just get a black screen.

They compiled the Intel driver module from the commit above (20210115) (flag -Dxvmc=false is mandantory) and installed the new intel_drv.so into the xorg modules directory. Doing this screen output is correct and videos are running without any tearing problems.
