Okay, I had a chance to do some testing with Keith's Radeon X-Video patches. The good news is that on the Radeons I have access to (Radeon 64 DDR, Radeon Mobility M6 LY, Radeon 8500 128MB), X-Video works. Ok, now the bad news... In the 2002-06-23 CVS checkout, 3D support doesn't work for either the Radeon 64 DDR or the Radeon Mobility M6 LY. This *isn't* related to the patch, as I tested the 2002-06-23 CVS checkout both with and without it; 3D support doesn't work either way. Since I'm a Red Hat user, the way I was building XFree86 was via rpm (using Mike Harris' SRPM package from Red Hat 7.3). When I built from CVS, I was still applying all of Mike's patches that didn't conflict with CVS. Thinking that perhaps Mike's patches were breaking something in recent CVS builds (even though they applied cleanly), I rebuilt XFree86 from CVS without applying any Red Hat patches whatsoever. Unfortunately; this didn't change the results of my 3D support tests; 3D support still didn't work for either the Radeon 64 DDR or the Radeon Mobility M6 LY. So, it would appear that 3D support for the Radeon 64 DDR and the Radeon Mobility M6 LY (and I suspect all Radeons) was accidentally broken in CVS sometime on or before 2002-06-23. At any rate, since Keith committed his patch to CVS, now I'm off to update my CVS tree and rebuild. I'll report back when I have a chance to test the latest CVS.
