OK, it might be nice to bring alanh in on this conversation since he |
| 11 |
recently fixed up the ffb DRI code, also to retest with the new code. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
And as far as davem taking out DRI from the DDX code, that seems easy |
| 14 |
enough to re-enable and test again -- just #if 0 changed back to XF86DRI. |

| With mach64, the problem on sparc has been the hardware itself, if I |
| 30 |
| remember correctly. That is, kernel, xorg are fine, but the mach64 card |
| 31 |
| used on U5/U10 is memory-deficient. Someone who has looked at it more |
| 32 |
| recently than I have will correct this. (There is a mach64-based sparc |
| 33 |
| frame buffer which should be OK for DRI, but I've never seen one. I'll |
| 34 |
| chase it down in the framebuffer handbook a little later.) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
My u5 works just fine with DRI at 800x600 resolution, 16-bit color. Any |
| 37 |
higher than this and you're right, not enough memory. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
| Changing DRI_DIRS is exactly what I did. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Not really... |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
DRIVER_DIRS != DRI_DIRS |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
e.g., DRIVER_DIRS = dri, DRI_DIRS = mach64 ffb |
