I'm inclined, I fear I am not as well-equiped as I might be. unfortunately unless they contract with a DRI developer, I doubt > much will happen with regard to a new driver since there are already > limited opensource developers furhter limited by lack of time and > resources. we'll see though... On that note, I am interested in getting involved in DRI development. I've been trying to read through all the recommended documents for new developers from the DRI site. I haven't finished all of them. I have good C and Linux skills. I would like to become involved. Work on radeon drivers would probably be easiest as it's the card I currently use (Radeon 8500) Any suggestions for getting my feet wet?
