David,

I've been making some changes to the drm interface and noticed some
interesting things about your FFB driver.  I'm working off a recent
branch of the main trunk in the DRI CVS repository.

I noticed your FFB 3D driver is being built for the x86 platform.  I
don't know if this is intentional.  The good news is it builds clean,
and I haven't had to make any changes to your driver.  It looks like the
FFB driver (like the tdfx driver) doesn't use any device specific
extensions to the drm interface.  Other than the additional build time,
I don't see any harm in leaving this on for x86 builds.

I also noticed the your FFB DRM kernel module is in the Linux kernel
repository, but not the DRI repository.  Just a heads up, I've made some
minor changes to the header files in the DRI repository.  These changes
show up when this stuff is merged with the Linux kernel repository, and
there is a good chance they won't affect your ffb driver since you don't
have any device specific extensions.  However, I'm just compiling with
drivers that are in the DRI repository at this time.  Perhaps, you'd be
interested in moving your FFB DRM kernel module upstream to the DRI
repository.

Regards,
Jens
