I need to check whether our integrated PCI-ATI Rage is having its own memory or sharing system memory. > The XFree86 mach64 driver does not use kernel > support, > There is an XFree86 driver (fbdev IIRC) which uses > kernel framebuffer > support, and some XFree86 drivers can work with a > kernel framebuffer We are going to use Mach64 server and as of now we are not interested in DRI. Once we successfuly port Xfree86 to our new platform with basic server then we can concentrate on other server implementations.
