[Dri-devel] New Checkins

[Daryll S. <da...@pr...>]

I did some major work on the texture engine in the tdfx driver. This
appears to fix all the Q3A problems. I also did a little work on the 2D
driver to make the system dynamically allocate texture memory according
to the display resolution, and to allow VT switching to work. We also
slipped in a quick fix to make Mesa use AMD 3DNow!
optimizations. Finally, we've renamed the device entries from
/dev/graphics to /dev/dri and /proc/graphics to /proc/dri. The old names
clashed with another device on SUSE distributions. Finally, I updated
Mesa to the 3.1 release. (I need to send in patches to Mesa for my
changes) 

There's a lot of good fixes in there. They are pretty much spread out
throughout the tree, so you'll need to do your CVS updates from the top
of the tree, and do a full install when it builds. Don't forget to run
it as 'cvs update -d -P' so that you create new directories and prune
empty ones.

I'll be doing some work on DGA and the 2D engine needs some serious
attention. It is showing some bad blit bugs. I don't know if I'll get
these checked in before I leave for Christmas break. 3.9.17 is due out
before the end of the year and that'll be a major X update. We'll
include that and track down some more of the bug reports when I get back.

This will probably be last big announcement until 2000 (no I'm not going
to say "the new millenium.") I hope every has a happy holiday season.
