Upstream scout run: 2026-10-28

Targets: all eleven. Window 2026-10-27 18:11 to 2026-10-28 11:14 UTC. 365 API calls, 0 errors. Web sweep: about 12 searches, nothing new beyond the repo scan.

Before the scan, XeGfx was brought up to date with the work of the last day: 0.0.46 (I-121), changelog and README (7cc883f), and the v0.0.46 prerelease.

Actionable

  1. NullMoth 2.6.3 includes our fixes (release). Our PRs #420, #421 and #422 are on main as cherry-picks and still open; the fork should move onto 2.6.3. See nvgfx.
  2. Scaled HiDPI sizes on Intel: zep245's panel fitter route (same timing, smaller source in a drm modeset) is the best lead for NvGfx #19. See xe.
  3. Zero-copy flip on the 7D67: ArrowWhatever's GGTT flip deferred until the engines are idle, about 60 fps against our copy path.
  4. I-119 lead: zep245's plugin stand-in copy of small no-copy textures left stale content; check ours.

Notable

  • ArrowWhatever's userptr panic is the same bug as our I-121, found independently.
  • 2.6.3: a setting in the user's own nvrm610.conf block now wins over the shipped value.
  • NMIntelFB gained PCH PWM brightness; it still reports the 15 MB framebuffer as VRAM.
  • nullmoth #424 (165 Hz vblank phase) and #426 (two-sampler array in three.js on an RTX 5050 Laptop): test before answering.
  • RTL8814Native: a second native IO80211 front end with per-build vtable dumps. See mt7925-wifi-native.
  • LenovoLegionLinux #491: the fan-curve WMI layout for our EC family. See legion-efi.
  • The FX608LP owner runs LegionI2CArrowLake 1.1.0 with polling. See i2c.
  • WhateverXe 0.6.1: eDP and PWM brightness for Alder Lake and Raptor Lake.
