eric's first punk show

Went to see These Arms Are Snakes, Engine Down, Brazil, and Clarity Process. Lots of fun, though the crowd seemed to be pretty low energy. Soooo deaf. There were little swishy noises echoing after car engine sounds and things when I left the hall. Wish I hadn't bailed in the middle of Engine Down, but I was getting too tired to pay attention :(

Hacking has been disrupted significantly by moving and school starting. I've still managed to write a trivial (and incorrect, woot!) Trapezoid hook for kdrive, which will be replaced by different, simpler, and correct one once cairo switches to new-traps. I think I'll be able to meet the "precise" requirements, too! The only problem is that it really shows that non-DMA acceleration is unacceptable. I can't feed vertices fast enough with pseudo-DMA, since I send 4 * 255 vertices per trapezoid, and cairo makes *lots* of trapezoids. Without being hacky and reducing precision (poorly) it's about 8x slower than software. DMA will fix this quite nicely. Only, at some point I broke Xati's DRI (== DMA command dispatch) support, and I just can't figure out why.
