I've been busy trying to get a release out the door, so I haven't looked at these patches yet. I won't have a chance to look at the patches until at least late next week. I also wasn't at FOSDEM, so I don't have any of the background info. If these patches try to enforce a "stable" interface between core Mesa and the classic DRI drivers, we're not interested. At all. This has been discussed and rejected many, many times before. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkujw1sACgkQX1gOwKyEAw/iSgCaA37aTDav/amZkxuxq89d+hJm P1MAn0dy99VSRTivgUURnCR3klnH/PSt =DrqD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
