If you are talking about the patches from Hui Yu that recently got committed to XFree86, no. At this point the radeon driver is diverging significantly from XFree86 4.3.0, so I don't think I can keep up with bringing patches over (I also don't have facilities and time to test them properly). I may bring over PCI ID updates and minor things. I think the best situation would be to create an XFree86-4-Server-snap port of the snapshots XFree86.org is distributing, for those who need updated driver support. I don't think I'll have time to create and maintain such a port properly, but it would be a great thing if it happened. If you're talking about drivers ATI is distributing, they have binary drivers which I have never used. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
