Re: MiniGLX error: Cannot use PCI Express without GART in FB memory

[tom j. <hat...@gm...>]

Thanks. What needs to be done to make existing working X DRI drivers work
under miniglx? They they just need a DDX replacement?
And so this is the problem in this case that the miniglx DDX replacement
isn't doing the right thing?
Excuse my DRI-newbieness, but to what extent is it possible to pull out the
DDX code from X and put it into the miniGLX replacement?
