[03:32] <zul> heylo
[03:36] <airlied> and that via drm patch was being sent upstream when? :-)
[03:37] <airlied> maybe it is upstream...and bypassed me..
[03:38] <airlied> ah it came from CVS in my last merge..
[03:38] <airlied> you guys should really try and ship the latest DRM with dapper.. 
[08:18] <fabbione> hi airlied 
[08:19] <airlied> hey fabbione 
[08:19] <fabbione> airlied: that can be problematic given the kernel is almost frozen
[08:19] <fabbione> airlied: somebody as been asking for some x800 love in the ati driver...
[08:19] <fabbione> i was wondering how badly intrusive are your patches in trunk
[08:20] <fabbione> and if it is worth to pull them in ati-1.0-stable branch
[08:20] <airlied> fabbione: the x800 should work in stable..
[08:20] <fabbione> ok!
[08:20] <fabbione> i will ask that ranter to try again
[08:20] <airlied> fabbione: it might be missing PCI ids..
[08:20] <airlied> but I don't think so ...
[08:20] <fabbione> i can check that and let you know
[08:21] <airlied> fabbione: the drm is part of X that  lives in the kernel :-)
[08:21] <airlied> not part of the kernel :[-P
[08:21] <fabbione> airlied: eh i know that.. 
[08:22] <airlied> so we can fix up the DRM even if the 'kernel' is frozen :-P
[08:22] <airlied> I'm not sure if your drm has benh's fixes in it..
[08:22] <fabbione> i wish everybody could understand that
[08:22] <airlied> I really wouldn't release anything without them..
[08:23] <airlied> they sorta go hand in hand with the stable driver fixes..
[08:23] <fabbione> on one side i am not that worried, because a 3 years kernel support will get updates
[08:23] <fabbione> there is nothing you can do about it
[08:23] <airlied> true..
[08:24] <fabbione> so if it is not right now that we are close to release, it might be a bit later
[08:33] <fabbione> airlied: sorry it was an x1800
[08:33] <fabbione> my bad
[08:34] <airlied> ah I've got code for the x1800, just not allowed release it yet..
[08:34] <airlied> well its for the X1300, but it shouldn't be a major nightmare toget working..
[08:35] <fabbione> ah ok
[08:35] <airlied> unless someone pressures ATI into signing the release I've no idea when I'll release it..
[08:35] <airlied> I might do it anyways.. depends on how sueable I feel I want to be..
[08:48] <infinity> Oh, c'mon.  Show some testicular fortitude.
[08:48] <airlied> well I've asked nicely first.. I'll see how that goes..
[08:53] <infinity> So, I take it this wasn't a magical reverse engineering or registre-poking feat, but you got your hands on some actual specs, hence the legal concerns?
[08:56] <airlied> well I wouldn't call them specs, more a like a register name/number/bits of interest with not textual info ..
[08:57] <airlied> but still a good bit of help from starting at zero..
[08:57] <airlied> like a header file really..
[08:59] <infinity> Check.
