<pre wrap="">Thanks. I've been meaning to test your patches Kevin. The only one I'm
nervous about so far is #5 which removes DDC.

<pre wrap="">Hi Connor,
Can you commit the patches as soon as possible?
I feel like you are bottlenecking the process by not really doing anything with the patches for about a week.
As far as I am concerned, that's taking too much time.
I have tested the code on ATI Technologies Xpert 2000 (RAGE 128, 32 MB), and they appear to work fine.
While there is this issue of GitLab migration, I will also like you to recommend to the freedesktop.org administrators that I obtain commit privilege so that I can commit code changes myself.
There is a lot of work to be done to improve the reliability of r128 DDX, and I am willing to invest time in it.
</pre>

There are some mailing lists where I would kill to have the
turnaround time only be a week. It was also not clear to me whether
you wanted these patches pushed before or after the privilege
upgrade. For what it's worth, I think it's clear that you care about
this DDX. So if the two admins who have entered the discussion here
are still reading, let this serve as my recommendation.<br>
