No. The work in the DDX driver is mostly finished. The DDX was already there (on the XFree86 driver) and it was only necessary to make DRI aware, i.e., to behave nicely with DRI and initialize the other drivers. The DRM is barely finished. It exists but it doesn't talk with the card at all yet. > I was able to build the savage driver from CVS and I would like to know how > can i debug and test it? How do i know what is working? At this point by looking at the logs. The /var/log/XFree86.0.log and the /var/log/messages to be more precise. At this point there isn't much to test. It's necessary to make the DRM talk with the card (i.e., send command buffers and wait for idle), and then write a small test program to draw a few triangles to check it works, as Andreas mentioned. > Where do i find any documentation about predefined functions that i will > need?

I think that r128 would be a good bet. It's roughly from the same generation as the savage, and the driver is in good state. The radeon driver is the most advanced but it's excessivly complicated for the savage capabilities.
