No idea if it can though, just wanted to point this out in case. -- Earthling Michel Dnzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast| http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer --- 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_idU88alloc_id065op=click -- ___ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
savage driver patches
I've been playing with the new savage patches. The latest cvs version seems to have fixed the unresolved symbols I was getting and everything seems to be working great. I've tested with glxgears, chromium and regular usage, are there any other easy tests to run that would be helpful? I am having a problem unrelated to the new patches. Some time recently xv has started being really screwy (black and white except for splotches that are miss-colored). Disabling BCIforXV in xorg.conf fixes this issue. What does disabling this do?
