I understand the backwards compatibility issues and that's good to have, but even Paul noted that when the chance arrives that the scheme should be changed to match more of what Egbert was trying to achieve.
The libdri.a library has just been bumped to 5.0.0 in X.Org's snapshot 6.8.99.8, so now maybe a good time to adjust things a little more and bump libdrm.a to 2.0.0 as well. > > 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...

To be honest, looking at the bug report, I'm not sure which patch should be applied to Mesa and/or X.Org in association with Paul's patch or Egberts. > 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.. Indeed. Things seem to have slid a little here. I hope that Egbert and Paul can hash things out a little more. I've directly CC'ed them here for an update.
