Re: [Xpert]Re: Radeon VE QY (PCI)
I do most of my work on the weekends so I'll try setting this up this wekend. What would be the easiest way to get the changes you made to enable the support so I could start from there.

After hearing a few reports from people that the Radeon PCI DRI code worked on x86, I removed the blocks which disabled the code, and built X with support for Radeon PCI DRI. Red Hat Linux 7.3 comes with this enabled. Since release however, I've gotten back 2 bug reports from users that it does not work properly for them. I don't know if it is a chipset specific issue or what it is, so I have just disabled support for it again. There doesn't seem to be many people with Radeon PCI hardware out there. It'd be a good project for someone who does have one to debug it and get it working with DRI though. -- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
