I did a full build (make World && make install), overwriting all of DRI, hopefully. Then I did the same to get back. I also updated and rmmod/modprobe the DRM, bothways. I think what is going on here is that there is some state that needs to be cleared on init, and deinit also(in gatos and fiergl). Thats why I think there should be a merge for the difference in state changes made on init/deinit. I don't think this should change the API, and would seem to be more of a bug fix. Even thought we would be reseting and initing parts of the card we don't use other wise, the gatos(and more importantly fiergl) drivers don't do this so we have to.
I really don't know much about the card and it would seam to me that just blindly writing state to the card based on what another driver dose would seem bad. I.E. an out to turn feature on would be bad if DRI needed to turn it off ect. > > Would there be any use in a merge of gatos init to dri or are thay > > just too diffrent? > > Their DRM changes can't be merged as long as they require changing the > major version number.
