[Dri-devel] XFree4 (finally) works on alpha.. questions

[Davenport <da...@cy...>]

Hey all.. I got the current tree up and running on Alpha.  No DRI
(yet).. and no glide (yet).  The glide code is in despirate need of
fencing.. the drm needs to be "ported" as well.

I don't know what you did, Daryll et al.. but xfree performs
beautifully!! Will full accelleration, I am getting NONE of the crashes,
text target displacement, and color expansion problems I was having.
And I havn't added a single mb or wmb.  I don't know what changed.. but
I am venturing to guess that the memory mapping on alpha has undergone a
change from 3.3x to 3.9.  Who knows.. but it does work..  The high DMA
activity that caused crash  problem has gone away.  The annoying
XPutimage corruptions are gone.

And my server allocates 1G of address space.  What's the nice way to
strip symbols on the .a fiiles so that XFree still loads em!

A few questions (again)

The xc/extras/Mesa/src has an X86 directory for 3dnow and mmx stuff.
Are there sofware equivalents (like gl_mmx_blend_tranparancy or what
have you?)

What's the recommended (stable) kernel release for drm?

Excellent job..wow
