IMHO that's a little strong (I assume you mean nv50+ here?). In fact I'm planning to complete my Maxwell EXA impl. The current reality is that modesetting+glamor doesn't render correctly at least on maxwell, but possibly others as well. The EXA paths are very well tested and are stable. I think not relying on mesa in the DDX is a nice advantage too. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
