Hi Alex,


Your best bet for playing with accel stuff is the EXA/Xv code. There
are still some issues with it:

- Using shader constants on r7xx seems to cause lockups in some cases
- Some corruption with text and small pixmaps (I think this is cache
flush related)
...
- Add support for UploadToScreen() and DownloadFromScreen() EXA hooks
(basically a textured blit to/from a gart buffer to/from vram)

Alex

I will start within these points. Maybe I can fix something or add stuff.
Do you have more information about the two issues?
I played around two days with the driver and never had a lockup or
corruption with text or pixmaps.
Only the r600 demo goes sometimes crazy. ;-)
I'm using a radeon 4870 btw.

If I find something, I will send the patches to the mailing list.


Kind regards
Manuel
