For the sake of company policy, now we have no plan to share our 3D source code.
That is not such a big problem. Still - if you want to make your cards a *big* success in open source world, share the 2d part and make sure that you have a hardware accelerated RENDER implementation (or if you cannot do this, share the specifications and documentation. Somebody will take care of the rest.) Accelerated RENDER will make your cards the fastest 2d solution for open source. ( Faster than nVidia and ATi). And this is a lucrative position given the corporate and SOHO markets that are expected to migrate to GNU/Linux (or *BSD) sooner than the home market.
3d is different thing. Some documentation will be always welcome, and if you need specialists under NDA, there will be some that will answer.

Subject: Re: How can we XGI share our Linux 2D driver with the open
source community? Thanx
Thank you for producing an opensource driver! Any possibility of a open source 3D driver down the road? even a "lite" version?
Welcome to the Community!
