thats what I figured. But then what is the point of returning the starting physical address to the user-space caller? If the user-space asks for 1 meg of memory==256 pages, and gets the physical address of the first page back, but all the oteher 255 pages are non-physically contiguous... then whats the point of returning the physical address of that first block? _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
