Was the DRI tree ever synced with the XFree86 tree prior to 4.4.0? I downloaded and installed 4.4.0 on a NetBSD system, thinking that MergedFB would just work but, unfortunately, it doesn't. Adam |

So I geuss the question should be: What's the schedule for merging the DRI tree with the XFree86 tree and is there any reason why this wasn't done before the release of 4.4.0?

The trees were not merged more recently because the DRI was already using a development version of mesa. When the next merge will be... I don't know. I'm not quite sure what the future of X holds: XFree86, xorg's tree, etc. we'll see.

Mergedfb is only available in the DRI tree > at the moment. Is there a list somewhere of what's in the current DRI tree that isn't in XFree86 4.4.0? I think that would help answer some of the questions like this and help the folks working on the x.org tree figure out what they want to merge in from DRI CVS. An initial list is: - GLX / device independent code - Client-side support for GLX_SGIX_fbconfig. - New DRI driver interface (backwards compatable with old interface). - R200 driver - Support for 3D acceleration on Radeon IGP chipsets. - Support for 3D acceleration on MergedFB setups. - Support for GLX_SGIX_fbconfig. - Refactored texture combine environment code. - R100 (radeon) driver - Support for GLX_SGIX_fbconfig. - Refactored texture combine environment code. - MGA driver - Support for GLX_SGIX_fbconfig. |

Have you seen my comment about a possible binary compatibility issue? I havn't looked into it any further yet.
