The goal is to get the required changes into Mesa. We're a bit closer to that goal now since the DRI drivers we're already moved to Mesa.

Yes I just switched my desktop system over. I had some strange XDirectFB hangs which seem to be related to ACPI PM timer since removing that option seems to have made it stable. > I'd like to have DirectFBGL > running with mga DRI on 2.6, too. > Are there any issues with this configuration? Well the drm module didn't seem to compile on 2.6. I'm not sure what the problem is yet but I'll take a look at it soon since I want to get it running too. > What are the major differences > between the embedded mga module and 'official' mga from Linux kernel? The embedded module supports changing the location and size of buffers. I think the embedded module should work just fine with normal XFree86/DRI so basically I could just push the required changes into the official drm source... > To be more precisely, I have plans for a QT application using XDirectFB on > one head of a G550 that puts OpenGL graphics on the second head using > DirectFBGL.

I've tested this as far as running XDirectFB on the CRT and OpenGL apps on TV. Well that was on 2.4 naturally. > Are there any fundamental incompabilities to be excpected? I can't think of anything right now. -- Ville Syrj�l� [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
