This was touched on in the 8.41 sticky thread, but I never got my head quite around it.
I gather there is significant crossover in the functionality of these two? Is there anything missing that DDM doesn't have or vice-versa?
The reason I ask is that DDM functionality would be much more useful if it had full integration with distros and desktop environments. RandR support seems to me to be the only way that this is likely to happen. Is adapting DDM to RandR simply a matter of adding a different API to the same functionality, or is there a ways to go for fglrx yet? Have AMD hinted at or made any announcement about RandR support?
Thanks,
L.
