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.
