Hello Laurent, The main goal is to get a working DRI that has the new API, and maby some gatos bells and whistles. I'm assuming you read my post that recent DRI is to different from gatos. My plan was to diff gatos and DRI and weed ought all the changes that where depreciated. With that patch one could create the new DRI. It seams as thought some of the developers are interested in making the new DRI backwards compatible. All you need to worry about is making a DRI based copy of gatos run on your computer. Gatos should be vary close to DRI, if not I'm sure there will be plenty help available.

I don't know anything about the APIs or radeons, I was hoping once I got into the code this would be made clear. > Laurent Pinchart > mike -- Use the Source. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
