I'll take a look at this. > 3) compacting the VRAM. Also, related is http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29053 After talking to you on irc about this and looking at the code in detail i think we need to move surfaces_info to DevRes so its shared between all pdevs for the device. This is not a problem since surface ids are not reused between pdevs (due to the global surfaces_used array). > However, when real DirectDraw Qxl support does land, the previous > method can be used again (Though separating the deallocations of > DEVRAM resources from those of surfaces will be still a good idea). If we can make our allocator work well, I don't see what using the directdraw allocator really gives us though. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc al...@redhat.com alexander.lars...@gmail.com He's an otherworldly devious senator gone bad.
