right now just the 300 series (300, 305?, 540, 630/S/ST, 730) have DRI support. the old series 6326, 620, 530 don't have DRI support, but but there are docs available (on the dri website I think) to write a DRI driver; there was also a utah-glx driver for the that series. I think the 6327 might have been the internal sis name for the 300 series, although that's just a guess on my part. The 6326 and the 300 series might be simialr enough to support them both with one driver, but I don't know. Thomas Winischhofer would probably be a better person to ask. I was thinking of tackling this myself to try and learn more about the DRI, and I'd be willing to try to help you if you wanted to. I'll even provide cards. sis 300 series cards are also very cheap. What I'd like to know is how different the 3D engine is on the 315 series is from the 300 series, and whether that could be supported at some point. It's doubtful however since sis refuses to hand out docs any more.
BTW, read over thomas' sis site for an overview of the different sis chips and features: http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml and http://www.winischhofer.net/sisdri.shtml Alex --- Ian Romanick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alex Deucher wrote: > > Sis wrote support for the 300 series and it works.
