Well, I've been testing the 20020712 CVS snapshot (which includes this patch). I haven't noticed any problems on either my 8500 or my Mobility M6 LY. I don't have access to the 64 DDR at the moment, but I'll test it there as soon as I can. Note that I have *not* experimented with any of the new features, so I can't give much input as to how they work. All I can say is that the patch doesn't seem to break anything as far as I can tell. ;) > I'll start working on the other patches that have been sent in > shortly. The copy of Michel D�nzer's HARDWARE_CLIP_SCREEN_TO_SCREEN_COPY patch which I merged against the 2002-07-01 snapshot still applies cleanly (with only a slight amount of fuzz). But I haven't tested to see if it will compile cleanly and run. I will do that hopefully sometime within the next few days... On another topic--are the comments in the source code the only documentation for the radeon driver? (I'd be willing to take a crack at writing a man page for the radeon driver, but if the only documentation is the source, it's gonna have a lot of "FIXME"s in the first attempt...) -- James Ralston, Information Technology Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
