Hi! Thanks for the detailed writeup. On Thu, Dec 03, 2009 at 02:38:29PM +0100, Egbert Eich wrote:
KMS is integrated in the DRM drivers. In the near future most graphics driver will switch to KMS: - Intel already ships a fully working KMS driver. Future Intel chipsets will be supported by the KMS driver only. - KMS in the Radeon DRM driver is still work in progress but it is already working well on some chipsets. - Noveau is relying heavily on KMS for their free 3D driver for NVIDIA chipsets. The proprietary ATI and NVIDIA drivers are unlikely to switch to KMS in the near future.
AIUI, if someone wants to use the proprietary driver, it is enough that the package adds nomodeset boot option to bootloader configuration and the drivers should continue to work just fine? (I'm no fan, but on few machines I need 3D on ATI...)
