Stuart, |

I'm glad to hear you've made progress on this and gotten things working! |
| 21 |

As soon as you get this code upstream, I will be happy to add these |
| 23 |
patches. I'm not interested in adding patches that aren't upstream yet |
| 24 |
to any X packages. |

I looked at the xf86-video-ati patch in the loongson overlay and it's |
| 27 |
huge. It's clearly GPL-licensed, presumably from the GATOS project, and |
| 28 |
that makes it unacceptable for upstream. I'm presuming it is straight |
| 29 |
from the GATOS folks and thus is just adding TV-out. |

The libdrm and xorg-server patches look more reasonable and shouldn't be |
| 32 |
terribly problematic to get upstream. |
