Could we not work out a way to peacefully co-exist with a single CVS tree?? As
it stands, we need the proper kernel tree, the proper dri tree, the proper
XFree86 tree, the proper linuxvideo tree, and probably a couple that I have
missed, since things don't seem to work smoothly, to get a working driver for
an ATI rage 128 card! Oh ya, sf.gatos.something if you want to try capture...
None of the trees seems to be in sync with one another. If you improve
something in one of the trees, syncing with the others is somewhat of a
nightmare.... Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but the current situation
seems to be somewhat less than optimal to me. If the XFree86 people don't trust
the gatos people enough for commits to the ati part of the tree, and the gatos
people don't trust the XFree86 people enough to sync the trees, not to mention
the dri, drm, and all the other stuff, how the hell are we going to come out
with a kick-ass driver that takes advantage of all the hardware has to offer?? 
I am rather new to this field, trying to play by the rules, but I'm having a
hard time trying to figure out all the fragmentation of effort.
