I also missed the meeting, was working outside. I feel ready, because I'm pretty confident that it has far surpassed FreeBSD's DRM in capabilities (pcigart, tcl), stability/correctness (eliminated some long-standing crashes), and speed (mtrr code sped up several cards significantly), and as far as I've been able to tell had no effect on Linux. Granted, my testing of Linux has been limited to glxgears so far, but I'm not expecting surprises. It will also open up the branch for more NetBSD work to happen (I've resisted some of reide's diffs because I wanted to focus on getting this merged). Concerns at this point: - I'm still noticing some problems with my Radeon 7500 with DRI (the last lockup was dragging a glxgears around on top of another one). There has been talk of 7500 issues, though. - clipping issues on r128. r128 I know has problems on linux anyway. - one user I was talking with said he had glxgears above 2000fps (was it 2600?) on a 1700xp and radeon 7500 with 4.2.0/drm-kmod and it dropped to 1900 with bsd-3-0-0-branch. I'm mostly concerned with that last point, but I still don't think it should stop a merge. As a side note, I would prefer to see someone else commit the actual merge if possible, because I don't feel proficient enough with CVS yet. -- Eric Anholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://lclark.edu/~eta/dri/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
