Hi folks, Well, I'm very happy to have come back to check my dri mailfolder, and find lots of messages about cleaning docs up for porting purposes :-)
If folks really want to make porting easier, then I would make the following suggestion: Change the CODE to make porting easier, also. Right now, part of what makes it somewhat confusing, is that there are so many *DIFFERENT* cards that are supported. It might be nice to have some sort of "generic 3d card" stub, that would have certain functions common to all 3d cards. Nothing too fancy. In fact, NOTHING fancy :-) Then it would be a lot easier for someone to come in and do a relatively small porting effort, to get a new card working. Right now, for example, most drivers *REQUIRE* that you have the AGP stuff all happy, and who knows what else. Once you have basic 3d stuff working, it's a lot easier (and safer!) to add features bit by bit, than it is to try to have to implement everything at once and wonder what you've screwed up. O' course, what with the time pressures on everyone mentioned in the recent discussion, I dont have much hope of seeing this actually materializing. But I thought I'd throw it out there anyway _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
