It has for us, at least. It pointed out the deficiency that led to the addition of mtrr in bsd, for example. If there was any other tool that all the users of XFree86 had, we would gladly use that instead, but as it is it's a quick measure that can show differences between people's dri status. I understand worrying abotu glxgears can be bad, but if other users are seeing drops in rate and I (with almost exactly the same hardware) am seeing increases, that's significant to me.

Basically I have a clean copy of bsd-3-0-0-branch, and I did a cvs update -d -j HEAD in it (I wasn't planning on committing, just finding what crashes had been fixed). It merged a bunch of stuff, but also created conflicts in many files that had no bsd-3-0-0-branch specific changes to them. Is there a better way to go about this? Is there any way to diff to HEAD easily? When I do, for example, cvs diff -u -rHEAD lib/GL/mesa/src/drv/radeon/radeon_maos_verts.c in bsd-3-0-0-branch it returns nothing, though there is a diff to HEAD there (when looking at cvs log and then supplying -r1.4). Same thing happens if I add a -rbsd-3-0-0branch before the other -r arg. I would like to be able to easily cvs diff directories between branches. I thought from reading the manpage I could do this, but it's not working. -- Eric Anholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://lclark.edu/~eta/dri/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
