Rfc/incorporate amdgpu driver

Open josephcrowell opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

To ease with maintenance and troubleshooting, including finding code that needs to be cleaned up within the driver as xserver is changed far more easily, move the driver directly in to the xserver build tree. Should be considered part of decision on https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/pull/449 and discussion https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/207.

Note: Long standing bugs were found due to the process of moving this in to the xserver tree.

@metux If you are still interested in moving drivers in-tree, I think it might make sense for fbdev and vesa, since most of the code is already in-tree, and the drivers are only tying the ends together.
