Every time I refer to Utah-GLX code I can't avoid to think about the enormous amount of duplication that would be to maintain a completely different set of OpenGL drivers. Regardless of the OS the code in libGL (meaning the Mesa driver) should be about 99% the same. I know that main reason for

I have been looking into the DRM's DMA/CCE/CP initialization subroutines (those named *_do_init{dma,cce,cp} ) of the current DRI drivers, and I still don't know how they protect themselves from making faults due to bad initialization parameters. Since I this is a little complicated to put over

[Dri-devel] Bug in gamma DRM

2002-04-15 Thread José Fonseca
When I found what I believe to be a bug in gamma DRM which could lead to a kernel oops on PCI cards. The line is gamma_dma.c:669: DRM_IOREMAPFREE( dev_priv-buffers ); but dev_priv-buffers has a non-NULL value only if it's not a PCI card, as seen in gamma_dma.c:625:

Thanks for finding that. You can apply the patch. Although the cleanup_dma function isn't used at all in the gamma driver yet (it should be - I know), but the AGP code hasn't been tested a whole lot either. Alan. On Sun, Apr 14, 2002 at 11:00:02 +0100, Jos Fonseca wrote: When I found what I
