<p>Due to non-&os;-related activities from April to end of June,
the project progressed slowly:</p>
<ul>
<li>Some important problems in TTM were fixed and several others
are being worked out. Applications affected by these bugs are
non-linear video editing software (which do not use Xv to
preview the video) or "screen" of VirtualBox, for
instance.</li>
<li>Regarding the locking issue with OpenGL, no work has been
done yet. <tt>glxgears</tt> works but some modern desktop
environments or WebGL demos hang. Once TTM bugs described
above are fixed, this is the next target.</li>
<li>Patches to Mesa to make it build out-of-the-box were
submitted upstream. As of writing, some were committed but
not all of them. Additionally, thanks to Jonathan Gray (of
OpenBSD) Mesa should hopefully work on &os;, OpenBSD and other
BSD flavors without additional patches.</li>
</ul>
<p>Several users tested the driver. Andriy Gapon, Jonathan
Gray, and Mark Kettenis (of OpenBSD) submitted patches. kyzh
kindly donated several discrete cards from different series.
A big thanks to all those contributors!</p>
<p>The driver is still not stable enough for a wider call for
testers.</p>
