I haven't checked if the rest still makes sense. 5/5 was about why a driver who requests a dri2 swaplimit change should be called back to confirm it is ok with the swaplimit change, which you said seems totally redundant, right? Ok, so we talk specifically about 4/5, which was reviewed by all of us, i think non-controversial, and a simple addition of a dri2 swaplimit api. Keith, what about that one for a start? > BTW, is there any reason this is being discussed outside of the > mailing > list? No. It just started as a private conversation with Jesse and "drifted" into this. cc'ing dri-devel, all that was said is in this mail. -mario >> thanks, >> -mario >> >>> -- >>> keith.packard at intel.com >> >> ********************************************************************* >> Mario Kleiner >> Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics >> Spemannstr. 38 >> 72076 Tuebingen >> Germany >> >> e-mail: mario.kleiner at tuebingen.mpg.de >> office: +49 (0)7071/601-1623 >> fax: +49 (0)7071/601-616 >> www: http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/~kleinerm >> ********************************************************************* >> "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence >> over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." >> (Richard Feynman) ********************************************************************* Mario Kleiner Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics Spemannstr. 38 72076 Tuebingen Germany e-mail: mario.kleiner at tuebingen.mpg.de office: +49 (0)7071/601-1623 fax: +49 (0)7071/601-616 www: http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/~kleinerm ********************************************************************* "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled."
