Description Tarmo Tänav 2004-05-30 08:39:51 UTC

Although the ati-drivers-3.9.0 release notes say that regparm is
supported it seems that only some functions support it. I made
a patch which makes all functions support regparm (without it
the drivers do not work in a regparm enabled 2.6.7-rc1 kernel,
I'm not 100% sure about other kernels, but very likely it won't
work with them aswell)

Reproducible: Always

Looks interesting, I'll test it a bit in short time

Ive just recompiled ati-drivers with this patch, my system is finally working with  accellerated 3d again, life is good. Prior to this dri failed to initialize and the module occasionally spewed out garbage, not so any more.
