Radeon IGP drivers

Radeon IGP drivers

[john moser]

Please CC replies to me.

Some patches are referenced at the following link for the xfree86 CVS:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:GSp4PKNHFpAJ:www.cliff.biffle.org/cpq2100.php+linux+presario+2100+3D&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

These patches do two things.  One allows X to use IGP drivers with DRI.  The
other generates a .ko for Linux 2.6 that works with the Radeon IGP cards.

It is the responsibility of the XFree86 project to merge in the DRI patch;
however, the new IGP-compatible Radeon driver
( http://www.cliff.biffle.org/patches/radeon_igp-2.6.patch )
is a kernel driver.  Has this been moved into the Linux source tree yet?  If
not, could someone move it into the tree?  Better to have it now than to wait
for X 4.4 to come out and (possibly) have the DRI patch merged in before
scrambling to get a working driver.

patch looks totally bogus in relation to whats in kernel tree right now.
It's also got absolutely nothing to do with radeon igp, just changes
to the different agp types (which the in-kernel drivers got changed
to a long time ago).
