XFree86 and ATI accel.

[Sven LUTHER <luther@maxime.u-strasbg.fr>]

Hello, ...

There are still some problems with some ATI boards with the accelerated X
server i made.

I know that Hartmut has such problems with his aty-XClaim board (RagePro, 4MB
SGRAM).

Also i had a report of problems with a Mach64 GT (0x4754 rev 0x41, 2M EDO)
based board.

You know i am in the process to submit the accelerated fbdev stuff into the
XFree, So it will be part of the next 3.3 release.

IS someone working on this problems (i can do nothing, not having an ATI
board), and if not it would be very nice that some one do some work on it so it
can be included in the next release. If not i would like to know if adding the
"noaccel" flag will solve the problem for people with this problem.

You can find a server with latest patches to test here :

Also please, if you know other people and place that would be interrested by
this, please forward this info to them.

Friendly,
