Al,
Thanks for the pointer. I didn't realize that the Kyro guys had a
driver out.
Although they are releasing binary only drivers, they appear to be
embracing a more open path from an infrastructure perspective. They are
using the DRI rather than replacing it with a proprietary direct
rendering infrastructure.
It would be interesting to hear more details from their developers
regarding the comment they put in their README: "If an OpenGL
application is forcibly terminated by closing the X connection then
there may be leftovers on the desktop. This appears to be a problem in
the DRI infrastructure the driver is based upon."
Are there any Kyro developers listening on this list?
