In some weekend Linux graphics news not related to the
much belated X.Org 7.4 or the
recent open ATI innovations, there is another interesting change to report on coming from the Nouveau developers who have been
tediously reverse-engineering NVIDIA's binary X driver. Recently they began work on
Kernel-based mode-setting and
NV50 series EXA Composite / X-Video support, but this news is different. With a
git commit this afternoon they have abolished their old DRI driver, which totaled over 60 files and thousands of lines of code, from the Mesa tree.
