No worries, is there any specific channel ideal for doing this? The patches have been kicking around in overlays for a while, it's just recently that I've decided to do anything about them. Ultimately going upstream with them was an option I was considering once I knew they wouldn't break other MIPS systems. At this stage, I haven't tried. > I looked at the xf86-video-ati patch in the loongson overlay and it's > huge.

IIRC it works without that patch, but I may have included it to try and get hardware OpenGL going. (it *almost* works... Quake II runs for 5 seconds before the video card dies. During this time, frame rates are good.) > The libdrm and xorg-server patches look more reasonable and shouldn't be > terribly problematic to get upstream. The critical one is xorg-server for general usage. I'll have to see if there's a newer patch available. Regards, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter) .'''.
