As long as the Linux build still works, that's fine by me. If you want to create the makefile links, move it to shared, and work on macro-izing the ioctls and whatnot, go for it. I was going to do this eventually, but if you're eager to get started, that's great. Of course, this will all have to happen in the mach64-0-0-6-branch for now, until we get the DRM interface/security changes done. -- Leif Delgass http://www.retinalburn.net ------------------------------------------------------- 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
