DRI is for Direct Rendering Infrastructure, not Interface.


It seems you have applied my r128 Xv endianness fix, why don't you mention it
in the changelog? And why don't you apply the Dashed Bresenham fix as well?


Also, some kind of patch adding -fPIC for building static libraries will have
to be applied, or a lot of shared libraries will break on powerpc. There have
been a few posts about the problem to -powerpc (related to xmms and SDL), and
a possible solution is being discussed on devel@XFree86.Org .


Thanks for your work,
