The K8M890 is yet another VIA chipset. Adding the pci id to the list is the only needed change to make DRI work with this chipset. The attached patch also fixes the description for an earlier VIA chipset, which was not correct.
Created attachment 8141 [details] [review] k8m890 id and 'P4VM800pro' description fix
Xavier, To enable this device for DRI we need to figure out its video engine AGP command stream capabilities, and also how the 3D engine behaves, and adjusting the command verifier accordingly so that we don't create a security hole. From what I understand, the device is a "Unichrome pro group A" when it comes to video, but has a completely new directX 9 compatible 3D engine. The question is whether this 3D engine is backwards compatible with what we have today. So, let's get XvMC running first and then check whether we can use the current 3D code. /Thomas
Device numbers are added now, but 3D and command DMA are disabled since we currently have no implementation for the new 3D engine.
