Hi!
Attaching the mail and another one that was stripped. Furthermore
I had two patches sent by git-send-email stripped away, but when I 
routed them through the vmware smtp server they arrived.

It might be that sf.net doesn't like my isp email server.

Hi!

I'm about to push a commit that strips old TTM from the drm git repo. 
Not sure if anybody uses it for other things than libdrm, but at least 
that will remove some unused code.

The master nouveau driver will be disabled since it depends on old ttm.

Okias,

The documentation available is the Xorg wiki TTM page (a little
outdated) and the ttm header files
which are quite well commented.

Currently there are three drivers using it
1) The Radeon KMS driver using a subset of the TTM functionality.
2) The Intel moorestown / Poulsbo driver which uses the full TTM
functionality including modesetting. Look at the list archives for
pointers to that.
3) The openchrome driver in the modesetting-newttm branch. No
modesetting yet for that one.

Note that the latter 2 drivers are using a tiny TTM user-space interface
which is never going to make it to the mainstream kernel. The openChrome
driver will be patched up to use a driver-specific version of that
interface.

/Thomas
