Hi all, I'm just wondering do we have a general feeling from a DRI perspective on breaking the ATI driver (which is DRI based) from a drm point of view,
The ATI proprietary driver *IS* broken right now - I am running FC2, with X updated from the mainline Xorg CVS, and just bought a 9600 to replace my aging 7500. The flgrx driver from ATI segfaults inside PictureInit.
Interesting but unlikely to be related to drm changes, first and foremost as the driver you are using won't contain any of the changes that Dave is talking about. If ATI ever picks up these changes, it will be up to them to validate that their code works with the rework to the DRM - which will probably be a simple task.
I hope this thread doesn't start some misconception that these changes are breaking an existing binary interface - because one doesn't exist! Though this is precisely my argument against introducing one in the form of a split core/subdriver model for DRM.
