Developers Voice Concerns About TTM

If you're interested in the internal workings of X.Org and Linux graphics drivers, you may want to read the latest discussion going on the DRI mailing list that concerns the TTM memory manager. Thomas Hellstrom of Tungsten Graphics had asked what is stopping TTM from going in the mainline kernel, which led David Airlie to chime in on its current lack of open-source drivers utilizing this memory management system (really just the Intel driver at this point) and thoughts from other developers. Some feel TTM is too oriented towards its usage on Windows and they have other technical hard-feelings towards this Tungsten Graphics creation. Read the thread on dri-devel.
