Originally posted by uid313 View PostI am curious to know if this driver could be improved and how.
Is it possible to add any type of acceleration to it?
Though I could probably be tempted to do something with the gallium XA state tracker, but it would depend on how ugly it would make things look.
But yeah it's pretty much feature complete from what I'll be doing with it.
the main reason is to have a driver for hw where I don't care about accel, but can work with multiple heads.

On the other hand since I'm sure that other people must have thought of this too I assume that there are a couple of flies that I haven't spotted in that ointment.
