Hopefully Monday I'll have real internet access here through the school.  I 
just hope that the Great Firewall that's rumored to exist won't stop ssh.  
Once I get that, I'll commit my trident driver.  I could get you CVS access 
to work on Trident Blade stuff yourself, too, at that point.

I'll also commit rendercheck to xapps then, though it still suffers from 
issues.  It's good enough to point out problems in the Composite 
implementations I've played with (fb, R128 Blend, Trident 9525 Blend in the 
new and old trident drivers).

My main project recently has been overhauling the ATI driver.  I've added 
R128 xvideo support through the front-end scaler (R100 would be easy to do, 
too) and hardware cursor support.  I also made it always construct DMA 
packets and then submit them either through MMIO, psuedo-DMA (which would 
allow Radeon Composite without the DRM), DRM DMA, and hopefully soon DMA 
using AGP or ringbuffer in framebuffer without the DRM.  I ought to check 
what the penalty is for using pseudo-DMA instead of direct MMIO, but I feel 
the cleanup in the driver is worth it anyway.
