Well, it depends, modern cards might well not have other accel model than DMA, as does the i810 if i understood well, but as does the Wildcat VP from 3Dlabs too. Sure you could always not use the DMA engine and use onboard memory as ring buffers, but this is less than optimal, unless you have a system where neither agpgart nor pcigart works. But the DRI doesn't support these cases anyway. Friendly, Sven Luther _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
