They in the kernel. Does xorg-edgers provide kernels?

[RealNC]

yeah thats really an answer!
are they in linux-next?does xorg-edgers use drm-next?
thats proper community support u would never get from a closed source dev!
thanks

With closed source I can at least update the GPU driver without needing to update the whole freakin' kernel to an experimental, pre-beta version

[pingufunkybeat]

Use closed source then?

y they provide kernels.
im using drm-next now but i dnt get the proper switch in xorg.xonf for enabling pageflipping.
btw colortiling "on" worked nicely

pageflipping requires the kms-pflip branch of the ddx and is on by default.

is the branch in drm-next? or is git the only way?

That's a ddx (xf86-video-ati) branch, not the kernel:

Just curious, just how many gigs would cloning linus' git bring?

Well if you don't care too much about the history, you could just use `git clone -depth 0` to get the most recent head and only that; shouldn't be appreciably bigger than the unpacked kernel.
