Paul and Egbert discussed it on the bug at the time Paul was working on it .. I was happier with Pauls initial approach for the kernel, and Egberts first patch I also felt to be overly intrusive from the start, and uncaring of backwards compat, i.e. fine for SuSE distros but not for the kernel as we would break old Xs.... > > I guess we need to pull Paul's Mesa fixes into the Mesa CVS too now ?? Yes they probably do need to be applied alright, really Egberts patch need to take more care of what Paul was aiming for with compatibility... I didn't get enough time to full review his last patch, but I would prefer to see it split up into the drm/Mesa/Xorg pieces so each can be assessed by each team, the days of the drm being a part of Xorg are coming to an end... I was hoping the two of them would sort it out and supply me with a "final solution" as I've no access to any equipment using this stuff, and couldn't ever get anyone to review Egberts patch until Paul turned up with his own..
