There are two main points that have stopped me from pushing for the=20 inclusion of the driver into Mesa proper: 1. Kernel-level security holes We should take care of full command-stream verification before moving the= =20 driver into Mesa CVS. It's easy to say "We can do that later", but if we=20 say that it's likely that it won't be done in a long time. 2. DRM binary compatibility We still don't know the meaning of many of the registers. Some registers ar= e=20 labelled "dangerous" which means we might have to do some more checks in=20 the kernel to make sure user processes can't do harmful stuff. This means= =20 that we might have to *remove* some of the cmdbuf commands that exist today= =20 in the future. If the others believe moving r300 to Mesa is a good idea, then I'll do some= =20 auditing to the DRM code. Once I (or somebody else) has done this, I'm okay= =20 with moving the driver as long as we don't enforce DRM binary compatibility= =20 yet. cu, Nicolai ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 WBR, Konstantin chat with =3D=3D>ICQ: 109916175 Lepikhov, speak to =3D=3D>JID: lakostis@jabber.org aka L.A.
