I've gotten that... what I'm not getting is the idea that I could just toss out the Gatos 3D driver in favor of the stock one. I mean, there has to be some lingering difference... or are you indeed telling me to just stomp the ati.2/radeon_dri.c file? Could it possibly be that easy? > > As I'm beginning to get clear, there is a now-unnecessary initialization > > It's as necessary as ever for video capturing. The point is that the > 1.10.0 DRM can deal with it, as well as with any 3D drivers _except_ > those from GATOS. So my objective should be to replace the Gatos 3D driver with the stock DRI 3D driver? What are the relevant files? Somewhere under xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati I'd assume, that's all that Gatos touches. < pauses while head spins 1440 degrees clockwise > Just so I've got it straight... Gatos's only concern was the 2D driver, buried somewhere in the ati drivers directory. In the course of their mods they had to modify the DRM to stay out of their way, and then the 3D driver to compensate for the DRM mods. Now the DRM mod to stay out of Gatos 2D's way is gone, and Gatos 3D is broken because their modified 3D driver is still in place. So, if I manage to pin down what DRI release Gatos is currently based on (read: most similar to), I should be able to just drop the relevant DRI files into the Gatos ati.2 directory and rebuild. Right? I'd like to say now, thanks for all the help and patience... I'm sure these are newbie questions. I'm no stranger to coding, but XFree is quite possibly the most complex gaggle of code ever written... I'd be quite content to leave it alone except the Gatos folks seem to have fallen of the face of the planet. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
