Can you describe what that means more?
Does it mean that people with old X versions will lose hw acceleration?
For which chips?
No it means people with old X versions won't try to enable hw accel on
cards that their X.org doesn't suppport...
The X.org drivers with respect to r300 drivers are highly experimental and
enabled DRI on r300 by default before they should, when I added the r300
PCI IDs as I tried last time, lots of people crashed and you backed out
the changes... so now the kernel isn't going to to trigger those problems,
as all of the new r300 class cards require using a new Xorg driver to
enable DRI..
Its the only way I can think off to get the r300 PCI ids into the kernel
and not break current systems... there is nothing I can do in the DRM to
fix the Xorg DDX stupidity..
