Eric,
Thanks for the update. You have the right priorites from what I can
tell. I didn't realize that FreeBSD was so far behind the DRI trunk. I
thought it had Mesa 4 since Alan had merged FreeBSD support into the
trunk.
I'm pushing forward with the drmCommand interface. Hopefully, it won't
give you any problems, because major changes will be very time consuming
after all the working drivers in the trunk have been converted.
Regards,
Jens
