Stuart,
I'm glad to hear you've made progress on this and gotten things working!
As soon as you get this code upstream, I will be happy to add these
patches. I'm not interested in adding patches that aren't upstream yet
to any X packages.
I looked at the xf86-video-ati patch in the loongson overlay and it's
huge. It's clearly GPL-licensed, presumably from the GATOS project, and
that makes it unacceptable for upstream. I'm presuming it is straight
from the GATOS folks and thus is just adding TV-out.
The libdrm and xorg-server patches look more reasonable and shouldn't be
terribly problematic to get upstream.
