But the interface between Mesa and the 3D driver changes slightly with every new Mesa version. Therefore upgrading Mesa would require some updates in the driver as well. At some point we're going to move the savage driver to Mesa CVS, so it'll use the very latest Mesa development code, like all the other drivers do by now. ATM, I think we can live with some Mesa bugs. Let's get the driver in shape first. I'd like to make it work with SavageMX/IX chips first. After that we'll need to redesign the kernel driver in order to improve security and allow IRQ handling. After that I believe we can move to Mesa CVS. That's my conservative plan. Rationale: As long as the 3D driver and the kernel driver change a lot we should keep them in the same CVS repository in order to minimize the risk of incompatibilities and version mismatches. I'm not going to do proper versioning with forward and backward compatibility with this experimental code. > > Thanks > > -- > Sérgio M.
