While this will allow most R5xx users to already move away from
shadowFB, it is still not as fast as it could be :) For instance, EXA
doesn't have accelerated (DMAed) up or download yet, but i hope to make
this happen soon.

I would like some PPC users to give both XAA and EXA a thorough try. I
expect at least exa to be broken, as the prepare/finishAccess hooks
probably need to have their surface offset.

So please give it a spin, and report problems asap :)

Does this require kernel support? I'm using FreeBSD 7.0-RC1, with this
in the kernel:

device pci
device vga
options VESA
device agp
device drm

The radeondrm driver only seems to support < r400 cards.

Rene

no, we do not support drm yet.

So this runs directly, all you need to do is get the latest driver :)
