Thanks for the info. I was not smart enough to understand it from the
latest messages/irc logs. So Frank's solution is not secure for a
moment. But why it just cannot be committed to CVS - for people who
would like "just to play around" in single-user mode? BTW, if Frank gets
DMA working - will it also solve the problem of simultaneous 2D/3D
acceleration?

I really look forward to test it!

That's clear now.

You're right. It is deadly slow.

D-M-A! D-M-A! D-M-A!

Big thanks for comments
