patch for sun type6 keyboard support from debian patches

2003-08-14 Thread Warren Turkal
This is a patch to add sun type6 keyboard support. It comed from the patches debian puts on the 4.3.0 source before building the packages. I think this type of info should be passed to the XFree86 core so that everyone who uses XFree86 can take advantage of this. Warren Turkal --- xc/programs

It's not the DRI per se... it's the radeon memory manager. it attempts to statically allocate offscreen memory for use by the DRI, pixmaps, etc. It has no effect on modes, so you can safely ignore it. Alex --- Andreakis, Dean (MED) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alex, I went ahead and commented
