Hi, I've finished the changes to the DRI interface that I've been talking about for a while (see #5714). Ian had a look at the DRI driver side of things, and ACK'ed those changes. I've done the X server changes now plus a couple of GLX module cleanups, and I think it's all ready to push:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/krh/mesa.git;a=shortlog;h=dri2 and http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/krh/xserver.git;a=shortlog;h=dri2 One thing that's still missing is Alan H's changes to how DRI/DDX maps the front buffer. While the changes above break the DRI interface, they only require an X server and a Mesa update. Alans patches change the device private shared between the DDX and DRI driver and thus requires updating every DRI capable DDX driver in a non-compatible way. I've been trying to understand the change better in order to try to come up with a backwards compatible way to do the same. I think I've found a way to let the DDX driver tell libdri not to map the framebuffer and then do it itself. The problem is that Alans patch also changes the DRI driver side of things to not map the front buffer in the loader but in the driver code, based on extra info from the DDX device private. A compromise that will leave the DDX device private untouched is still require the framebuffer info (handle and size etc) through DRIGetDeviceInfo, but to not map the front buffer in the loader. Instead we just pass the handle and size into the DRI driver (as we do now), and the driver can then do the drmMap(). However, at this point I'm wondering what the intention of the patch is and if my suggested change somehow conflicts with that... help? cheers, Kristian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
