KMS is a little tricky, but I've been starting to look at it. If by DRI2, you mean gem and/or newttm. They are on my list of stuff to deal with.

It frustrates me, but their goal isn't to make things more difficult for us (me in particular). They (primarily Intel) is trying to simplify their process for upstreaming to linux. As changes to infrastructure occur, someone has to back port those changes to git. I don't have the time to try and do it, nor do the folks from ATI/AMD or the Nouveau crew. Intel has by far the most people working full time on drm and X, so they tend to get away with what they want to. Given that git doesn't match what is in Linux, it means that in order for anyone else to ship code to Linux they have to rework it before sending it up, it is just much easier on everyone if they do so. Right now, Alex(AMD) and I are doing a fairly decent job of staying in sync. I think the same will work for Nouveau. Intel is just too chaotic, so I just try to sync up with what they are shipping periodically. robert. --=20 Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD --=-8HRGQtkvLp1YxvIVQ4YQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAknVqTYACgkQM4TrQ4qfROMsyQCeLKgMXTG4mIo0EOcdMIhZD3Ym XMEAnAnge/F5FbMvKg6xF2X8E5sf3JC0 =Tfm6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-8HRGQtkvLp1YxvIVQ4YQ--
