Yes, and XFree86 is beyond the DRI. :) > -> Is DRI a 'patch' over the Xfree stuff, or is it a stand-alone code? > -> If 'patch', how do I patch Xfree source with the DRI stuff? > -> If stand-alone, do I first need to install X, or is DRI self-sufficient? The DRI CVS repository can be considered a branch of the XFree86 CVS repository. They basically develop orthogonally but are synchronized regularly, usually around XFree86 releases. When this is done, the trees are tagged to mark their respective states at the time of the merge. The DRI CVS tag of the last merge is X_4_2_99_2-20021023-merge, so you could basically try to cvs diff against that and apply the result to your XFree86 CVS tree. > Next I'd like to enable as much functionality for my card (Radeon Mobility > M6 LY, with only 16MiB), and to optimize Xfree for my setup (P4).

There's config/cf/README, but I'm not sure how complete or up to date that is. Basically, you can override most of the things in the files in config/cf in host.def. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
