Sigh.  The nightly CVS tarball wasn't updated last night.  I've
submitted another support request asking if they can either produce
another tarball or give us an idea of when the next one can be
produced.  Until I get a response, if folks can hang on, that would be
great.

Maybe the printed strings in your patch should
mention the "SE" so that no one gets confused.

Anything else looks smooth to me right now.

Updating to DRI's cvs has gotten rid of it in everything, including
planeshift.  Unfortuately, it seems to be at the expense of objects'
polygons sometimes disappearing for an instant and then reappearing. 
This is nowhere hear as offputting tho, so I'll stick with CVS I reckon
:)

In the "Device" section of your XF86Config-4 file, you should add the
following line:

ChipID  0x4242

My Device section looks like:

Section "Device"

[Dri-devel] ATI Radeon 9200 SE

2003-09-13 Thread #NGUYEN THANH NAM#
Hi,

I bought a Creative 3D Blaster 5 RX9200 SE (uses ATI Radeon 9200 SE chip). When I did 
a lspci the revision shown was 0x5964 (and there was another one too, I guess it is 
for secondary display). However, the radeon driver only supports 0x5960 to 0x5963 (I 
checked against the latest radeon-pci.h)

#define PCI_CHIP_RV280_5960 0x5960
#define PCI_CHIP_RV280_5961 0x5961
#define PCI_CHIP_RV280_5962 0x5962
#define PCI_CHIP_RV280_5963 0x5963

So I was just wondering whether another line like this

#define PCI_CHIP_RV280_5964 0x5964

would make it work for me.

Can any one give me some advices as to what files to edit? Thanks.

Nam

O.k. I've tagged the trunk. I've also generated a 5MB patch file against
XFree86, but most of that is Mesa 5.0.2. There are a few loose ends, but
nothing major that I'll fix up once we're on dri.freedesktop.org.

Thanks for your patience.

sourceforge.net has remained the place to be working until we get the
final move done, which I'll announce when it's completed.  It's been
stalled on getting a new repo tarball from sourceforge.net.  Today I got
a reponse (again) saying it was fixed, and this time it is.

So:
Tomorrow, at around 3:00pm pacific I expect, I'll grab the tarball and
update dri.freedesktop.org.  If you do commits between now and then, it
may not be reflected in that tarball, so I guess you'll just have to do
any commits again on dri.freedesktop.org.  You may want to just save
them for tomorrow.   (I'm saying tomorrow instead of right this minute
because of the 4.3.99.12 merge, which looks like it isn't in the current
tarball)

P.S.
Sorry for the screwups on people not being able to make cvs locks on
dri.freedesktop.org.  I had created users in a different manner than the
standard for freedesktop.org, and when I was fixing things up I hadn't
readded people to the "dri" group.

O.k. I'm still finishing off the merge, but I'll tag it with 
XFree86-4_3_99_12-merge when I'm done. So as long as that tag exists
in the tarball we'll be o.k.

[Dri-devel] cvs tarball from sf.net..

2003-09-13 Thread Dave Airlie

Okay there is one in my a/c on freedesktop.org with Sep 12 00:20 on it,

but I'm sure it is from the backup server not the primary.. so it is
probably missing 24 hrs of commits.. the history file in CVSROOT is
probably the best place to start...

god knows how long it will be until sf update the tarrball again..

Dave.

[Dri-devel] Your Bugzilla buglist needs attention.

2003-09-13 Thread bugadmin
[This e-mail has been automatically generated.Please do not reply to this 
email- if you want to comment on the bug, go to the URL shown below and enter 
your comments there.] 
 
You have one or more bugs assigned to you in the Bugzilla  
bugsystem (http://bugs.xfree86.org/) that require 
attention. 
 
All of these bugs are in the NEW state, and have not been touched 
in 7 days or more.  You need to take a look at them, and  
decide on an initial action. 
 
Generally, this means one of three things: 
 
(1) You decide this bug is really quick to deal with (like, it's INVALID), 
and so you get rid of it immediately. 
(2) You decide the bug doesn't belong to you, and you reassign it to someone 
else.  (Hint: if you don't know who to reassign it to, make sure that 
the Component field seems reasonable, and then use the "Reassign bug to 
owner of selected component" option.) 
(3) You decide the bug belongs to you, but you can't solve it this moment. 
Just use the "Accept bug" command. 
 
To get a list of all NEW bugs, you can use this URL (bookmark it if you 
like!):

The problem with the IPv6 support commited to XFree86 CVS, was 
that it requires the system to have IPv6 support wether you 
actually use IPv6 at all or not.  In other words, if your kernel 
does not support IPv6, then you can not use XFree86 CVS as it 
requires IPv6 unconditionally to be available on the system 
wether or not the X server will actually be used with IPv6.

That was the original problem, however I do not know if that is 
still the case or wether it's been fixed now or not.  It's 
possible that someone fixed the IPv6 to not be unconditional, but 
if it did get fixed, I must have missed seeing the checkin.

If the issue is still present however, then anyone compiling 
XFree86 CVS and using it must have IPv6 on their system, even if 
they don't use it.

Hope this helps.

I'm afraid it's not that simple, some new code needs to be written to be
able to merge the two.

More than that, backwards compatibility is a requirement, otherwise the
DRM gets kicked out of the kernel by Linus.

In fact, in the proposed solution (have you gotten any feedback on it by
the GATOS people yet?), the DRM can fix up the difference between what
the 3D driver thinks the memory layout is and what it actually is.
