This driver is broken and has been since my first CVS merge went in back in April, I just noticed there now when trying to fix it up for some other changes that I was making, List of issues: a) no-one has complained or noticed it has been broken for at least 4 months b) there is no current user space to go with the kernel space driver (Mesa DRI driver is broken as far as I know....) c) no-one has stepped up to maintain it d) no-one has a working user space to tell me I broke the kernel space or test it for me .. Unless we can up with some plan for the future (user and kernel space), this driver will be marked broken in my next merge and may in fact end up broken as a side effect of the changes for the core/personality split.. Dave. p.s. I'd love to take it on, but I've no sparc hardware and no real spare time even if I had... -- David Airlie, Software Engineer http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied / airlied at skynet.ie pam_smb / Linux DECstation / Linux VAX / ILUG person ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
