What are you talking about?? look... radeon == radeon; radeon:r200 != radeon; /* don't fix it if it ant broke */
For ANY driver that is broke. A simple Makefile update to 'ln -s radeon radeon:r200' gets done where we replace "radeon" with "radeon:r200"(The calling funtion) and NOT where "radeon"(The call-e) is built so it's forward and backward compat. So a fue tweaks here and there it's farely straight forward. I'm amazed that any features ever get added to Linux. --- Eric Anholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 2004-06-14 at 20:34, Mike Mestnik wrote: > > Ohh, is it realy that hard of a feature to add?? > > > > foo:bar > > > > Old systems try to open "<path>/foo:bar_dri.so" and maby thay will > fail or > > there will be a symlink there.
