Stuart,

I'm wondering if you can schedule a session at X dev conf where the TG 
people attending can give a brief overview of what we've been working on 
recently and where it's going.

It's going to be informal in the extreme, but I think it's pretty 
topical given the relevence of in particular the Mesa/DRM memory manager 
that we've been working on for many of the things that the X people have 
been wanting from Mesa lately...

Off the top of my head, we'd talk about:

	- Memory manager
		- Dynamic AGP mapping with TTM's
		- Userspace prototype memory manager in i915 driver.
		- Plans for full (ie kernelspace) version.
		- Extending to cards with dedicated video ram	
		- EXT_framebuffer_objects
		- other much-requested features finally possible
		- low-impact migration for DDX drivers
				
	- Recent i945GM driver updates
		- Accelerated RandR
		- Other neat stuff

	- General Mesa futures
	
It'll just be us standing around talking, there is no presentation as 
such, though we might use a whiteboard or if we get some spare time a 
couple of slides.  I'm hoping audience questions will carry us through 
the allotted time...

Keith
