ioctl32 and UT2004 - success :)
Hi, Since I haven't found an updated DRI driver(maybe I wasn't looking hard enough) that would be useable with UT2004 and the like _and_ support 32bit applications, I took the first graphical diff tool I've ran into(tkxcd) and tried to "merge" whatever there was that seemed relevant in the km_drm package and the newer driver in the 2.6.7 kernel... To my amazement, it actually worked with only one compiler error to fix at the first try :) What's even better, not only did it compile, but it seems to run, too, and so far I don't have any more problems than with the older driver(e.g. switching from console to X and back a few times freezes the system), and I can play UT2004(64bit), UT(32bit), ET(32bit), etc even with 24bit colour(16bit colour tends to make UT ugly :( In case it's interesting to anyone, attached are the quick diffs for the Radeon driver, to be applied to the 2.6.7 tree after the latest patches from amd64-org. (note: my knowledge of C tends to 0, and I'm not responsible if there's something terribly wrong with them) P.S. One question: so why isn't 32bit emulation for DRI included into the official kernel tree? Or at least with the patches at amd64.org?

I am very interested, but sadly attachements are filtered from messages in this list. Could you please just paste it as message text, or send it to me directly? TIA! and good work! BB, Arjen

Hint: No, it's not "the list" . I received Sergei's attachment and was able to cleanly unpack the diff. Manfred

It went through, at least I got the message from the list with all the attachments now(btw, I can't paste it uncompressed, either, it's too big) In any case, here it is: http://members.shaw.ca/sklink/radeon_ioctl32.diff
