I've been approved for a commit bit to the FreeBSD repository, and the OS-templated DRM (mostly the bsd-2-0-0-branch DRM but with some modifications) will soon become a part of the FreeBSD kernel. It's been pretty well tested with 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, so I feel good about this.

Yeah, my TCL tarball will hopefully track the tcl branch pretty closely. It's also where I'm working on experimental code (e.g. getting i810/i830 working). The target of this code is people who are tracking CVS and don't mind compatibility breaking or a little more danger. > > At this point I have a FreeBSD DRM set which is mesa4 but with > > drmcommand and tcl bits pulled in, working for Radeon with TCL and I > > think for the other cards, too. > > Mergin the drmcommand tcl bits is something I've opted to wait on.

Well, since I'm only working on the DRM, the drmcommand stuff was easy -- just moving around a few chunks of header.

Let me clarify: I had been stuck on the mesa4 OS-templated DRM since December because the ATI cards (r128 and radeon) were not working. I think at this point 4.2.0, DRI trunk, and tcl-branch X servers are working with the TCL/experimental DRM with the exception of a DRI CVS Radeon X server versus the new TCL drm. I have to check this again, though, because I could be very wrong (haven't tested for quite a while). _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
