Hi,
The commits below made huge changes to -xgi:
<A HREF="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/commit/?id=19c426c15ffcf4a95a30c011daba7c41a52c2c4d">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/commit/?id=19c426c15ffcf4a95a30c011daba7c41a52c2c4d</A>
<A HREF="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/commit/?id=2ac9f2a81d2cc4ec90e3fe095b2e975aa5ed9316">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-xgi/commit/?id=2ac9f2a81d2cc4ec90e3fe095b2e975aa5ed9316</A>
The resulting driver doesn't compile under modern Xorg (it uses
xf86Version, xf86Resources, xf86Rac, and is pre-libpciaccess),
and was made by a user without a functioning e-mail address:
"xgi0007 <<A HREF="mailto:xgi0007@linux.site">xgi0007@linux.site</A>>".
Can we fix this or revert the commits?

On May the 7th I notified Jong Lin <jong_lin@xgitech.com> about this situation. I had tried the patch he submitted and noticed the same issue you did. He replied asking for build logs which I sent him. At that time tinderbox was not updating from git, so it did not break the build. I had cc you, but you may not have this e-mail anymore.<BR>

It's unlikely we will get a quick resolution. I don't mind reverting it if it is ethically acceptable. It's a big patch (36,000 lines), it would be even better to nuke the top commits. Or just taking it out of the build is another option. The last version is available anyway.<BR>
