kdrive:
Continued hacking on the atidrm driver for kdrive today. After some very helpful input from keithp, it initializes the DRI successfully on the Rage 128 (haven't tested the Radeon yet). 2d acceleration is broken after that, but it isn't using the dma engine yet anyway so there's still work to do. Out of the 886 lines of code in ati_dri.c, I'd say around 100 are device-specific (radeon/r128 split), at least so far.

I'm stuck in the FreeBSD port of the kdrive server. I'm getting a panic in vm86 mode when using VM86_INTCALL, which I was hoping would be the easy solution. I don't understand how to use the normal VM86 mode in this situation, either.
