Nope never said that, they won't be able to use the one after this one ;-) They can use as much of the release as they can currently, if they want new 3D driver features they'll need to upgrade.. (to be honest there isn't much extra in the DRM from Xorg 6.7 to Xorg 6.8).. and I'd like to get the DRM be a kernel thing rather than a X thing all this spread-out development doesn't seem to be helping anyone... And if we do get around to this great super unified graphics driver that also ends world hunger I ain't backporting it to 2.4 :-) Dave. -- David Airlie, Software Engineer http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied / airlied at skynet.ie pam_smb / Linux DECstation / Linux VAX / ILUG person
