Both xfree86 cvs and DRI CVS contain both the 2D windowing system and the DRI for 3D. Xfree86 focuses on developing X in general, while the DRI project focuses on 3D. I'm committed mergedfb to DRI CVS. mergedfb will give you 3D on both heads of a dualheaded card. You can also grab nightly snapshots from the DRI here: http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ Alex --------------------------------- William Gallafent wrote: > On Thu, 16 Oct 2003, Alon Weinstein wrote: > > >>William Gallafent wrote: >> >>>ATI Radeon (but not the very newest ones).

Do you mean that the DRI CVS holds the complete source for XF86 + DRI? So I can only checkout from DRI and "make World" from their sources to have X + DRI? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
