RadeonHD DRM Begins To Show

Written by Michael Larabel in Radeon on 2 May 2008 at 10:43 AM EDT. 4 Comments

The RadeonHD DRM isn't yet in a usable state to end-users, but Matthias Hopf has pushed his latest RadeonHD work into his personal git tree. DRM is now able to initialize on an RS690 GPU, but DRI isn't working yet. Nor does Matthias's code work with 2D acceleration currently. However, he does hope to have this code working within a few weeks. The git URL and his message can be read on the RadeonHD mailing list. Luc Verhaegen has also made a very interesting RadeonHD enhancement without DRM, which could be available for public showing soon.
