Hey community :-)

openSUSE is having a hackweek again, next week Jul 20-24. Which means that all SUSE staff is allowed to work 100% of their time on upstream projects unless *really* critical bugs pop up.

Egbert and I want to spend our free hacking time on radeonhd, so we can make some real progress in a few areas (hopefully).  Topics we want to work on include

- better powermanagement support - addons to acceleration or display technologies - bug fixes

It would be great if some of you guys would be around on #radeonhd or on the mailing list - either helping coding or validating fixes and new functionality on hardware we don't have, also helping us by being able to spend our time more on coding than on reproducing and testing ;-)

CU all next week :^)

I'll try and clean up my r6xx/r7xx performance patch although I'm certain you won't use it. ;) I'll also try and explain some of the reasons why I did things the way I did and how it improves the speed. I think it would be worth while for professional developers looking at some of the things I have done to get my performance increases even thought they are not likely to use them. I'm certain they might encounter a few sections of code where the need for performance out weighs other factors. -- Conn Conn O.
