-The XA state tracker is intended as a versioned interface to gallium for
-xorg driver writers. Initially it's mostly based on Zack Rusin's
-composite / video work for the Xorg state tracker.
-
-The motivation behind this state tracker is that the Xorg state tracker has
-a number of interfaces to work with:
-
-1) The Xorg sdk (versioned)
-2) Gallium3D (not versioned)
-3) KMS modesetting (versioned)
-4) Driver-private (hopefully versioned)
-
-Since Gallium3D is not versioned, the Xorg state tracker needs to be compiled
-with Gallium, but it's really beneficial to be able to compile xorg drivers
-standalone.
-
-Therefore the xa state tracker is intended to supply the following
-functionality:
-
-1) Versioning.
-2) Surface functionality (creation and copying for a basic dri2 implementation)
-3) YUV blits for textured Xv.
-4) Solid fills without ROP functionality.
-5) Copies with format conversion and - reinterpretation but without ROP
-6) Xrender- type compositing for general acceleration.
-
-
-The first user will be the vmwgfx xorg driver. When there are more users,
-we need to be able to load the appropriate gallium pipe driver, and we
-should investigate sharing the loadig mechanism with the EGL state tracker.
-
-IMPORTANT:
-Version compatibilities:
-While this library remains OUTSIDE any mesa release branch,
-and the major version number is still 0. Any minor bump should be viewed as
-an incompatibility event, and any user of this library should test for that
-and refuse to use the library if minor versions differ.
-As soon as the library enters a mesa release branch, if not earlier, major
-will be bumped to 1, and normal incompatibility rules (major bump)
-will be followed.
-It is allowed to add function interfaces while only bumping minor. Any
-user that uses these function interfaces must therefore use lazy symbol
-lookups and test minor for compatibility before using such a function.
