Hi,    



Yes I would be happy with that.  I'm in the stage of trying to tidy up
the changes, and check that they are functioning.  I'll forward it to
yourself and Axel as soon as I've got it ready.  There's probably a lot
of duplicated changes.  I'm not bothered who's changes are merged to be
honest.  As long as the driver keeps functioning!

Hi euan.

Maybe we can merge bot of our drivers into one. I would send your changes 
to our Radeondriver dev and then she can bring both together if you dont 
mind, then we can merge that complete thing into the haiku driver.

Greets,
Bernd
