Now you know why I have been making all those posts about merging DRM/fbdev for the last year while everyone was calling me crazy. mesa-solo has to join DRM/fbdev together to get the foundation that it needs. Another part of the goal is that the XGL server does not need to run as root. I've recently posted code to fb-devel list that allows modes to be set without being root. I'm also trying to sort out reseting of secondary cards using fbdev. Other areas that need work is hardware cursor and fixing radeonfb to support two heads and merged fb. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
