Please do not do this. Choose the "clean" way, not the "easy" way. There are already AGP (and memory alloc) related calls in the X server framework; xf86BindGARTMemory(), xf86EnableAGP(), etc. The core X server should not be making calls into extension modules. Extension modules should be making calls to xfree-exported functions. If there arent sufficient xfree-exported functions, extend or add new ones. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
