The latest intel ddx supports it using uxa
(
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=d8eb8...).
Sna and glamor should work as well (well as well as they do using DRI2).
And also DRI3 breaks a bunch of working features like gpu offload,
Oh good to know.
again
DRI3 + present is a keithp feature, it works on his laptop so he shipped it.
It needs someone who cares to take over and finish development.
.... ugh ... has there been any discussion on this before merging it?
