The main current problem is that currently, DRI freezes my machine on
resolution changes (bug known since ages, as it appears, probably linked to
VIA chipset).
OTOH, this version of the DRM is tightly coupled with the ATI.2 DRI driver
for the X server, and this one was worked on by Matt Zimmermann at some
date. And everyone knows that building an X driver is currently quite a
tedious task.
Maybe the X source package could integrate the ATI.2 sources, and build a
package for it ? Currently, I build one manually, which diverts X-provided
files before unpacking. Maybe the same approach could be taken there ?
Debian-X people, what do you think of this ?
