Currently all my mergedfb work has been in the 2D driver, but I'd like to start working on some 3d stuff (time permitting). however, I don't have write access to the mesa tree. It's not real important at this point I guess, but eventually... Also isn't mesa hosted on sourceforge? will there be issues with cvs access (not that freedesktop is perfect)? will it all be in one mesa tree or will the DRI have it's own copy in our cvs? Just curious...
