I'm interested about the driver for my second hardware. It's a separate graphics chip with separate VRAM, no access to system memory and nearly no advanced capabilities (few 2D accelerations, but nothing fancy). Would that require TTM, some special setup of GEM or something completely different? -- With best wishes Dmitry _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
