Thx Alex,

the difference is that i am able to watch movies under windows on a 
second monitor
with hardware acceleration. I use normally xv for this under X, but this 
does not support
the acceleration o a secondary monitor. (We were talking about this some 
time ago)
At least, if I use two monitors, I do not get dri working. It might be 
related to the amount
of memory.

What is going on with the EXA implementation for the translucency? It is 
currently not really usable.

And my least question: What is the plan for the driver in the future? 
Who does the development of the savage driver?

Regards

Manfred
