Hi Sérgio,

first off, I appreciate your interest in the savage driver and your
initiative. I'll comment on your proposals below. I'm going to send sort
of a savage roadmap to the list soon which will outline my plans for the
3D driver for the next couple of months. I'm sure there will be items on
the list for you to pick up. ;-)

The Savage 3D driver will eventually move to Mesa CVS like the drivers
on the trunk did. Then they will use the most up-to-date Mesa
development code. If you don't see any improvements from your patch then
I don't see a reason to mess with Mesa on the savage-2-0-0-branch now.

It is probably a good idea to keep integration into the linux kernel in
mind. Eventually we want the Savage DRM driver in the kernel source.
Until then the kernel module will change a lot though. During that time
it will be important to use the most current kernel module with the
latest 3D driver. Therefore splitting the source trees is not a good
idea right now (IMHO anyway).
