Description Stefan Huchler 2006-08-19 12:27:35 UTC

So i want see exa with my nvidia-card.

i have found an patch for the opensource nv driver:  http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ExaStatus

i see that the makefile patch part is not working because of other makefiles.
so i deletet this part from the patch and made an own make-file-patch

so portage patched the files sucessfully but then other errors occured:

i should now search this file (xf86drm.h) and put it in the src dir or should make a patch for this. but i dont feal like that at the moment. i thought it would be easyer.

so if somebody would take this as startpoint i am glad.

i found some usefull information on this site:

We will not support patches that the upstream source of the code (in this case, X.Org) does not support. If you would like to file a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg requesting that the patch be fixed and committed to X.Org, go ahead.
