I don't know how finished the code is now and if it's really usable or not. I was also hoping to test it - I have very few memory on my mach64 so there would be quite a boost -, but I've been quite busy studying the DRI mach64 code and the OpenGL rendering pipeline so I have had no reason to rush Frank. Leif Delgass has also merged the trunk with XFree86 4.2.0 on his tree, and plans to merge it again now with Mesa 4.x, which may also give an overall improvement (although not as big as with other cards since mach64 has no transform&lighting). So a new branch will pop up any time soon! After studying this stuff I plan to workout the blending/fog with PIO, but if either Leif or Frank decide to create the new branch - even if not with the complete changes - I'll help them finishing. > DMA working - will it also solve the problem of simultaneous 2D/3D > acceleration? > I remember reading on this list that X 2D driver locking will be done after the DMA is working. > > His work is not yet on a CVS branch, although I hope it will be in a > near > > future. > I really look forward to test it! > > > This is also an evidence of insufficient memory for textures. > That's clear now. > > > which, again, is also very slow since it does that through PIO. > You're right.
