------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-10-19 01:49 ------- Perhaps you could give me something to start with (Interface Doc of old and new api, usesful links) to fix the ATI Rage driver. Maybe sperate support for both, new and old api, could also be a temporarely solution, although drivers supporting the new interface would be the much better way. The old glx api could be frozen in it's deprecated state seperately from the new api. However, most of the drivers are binary only. For example, the only "usable" driver for VIA unichrome KM400 is the binary one, since VIA doesn't offer the reg. description to the unichrome project. Thus, the Unichrome project seems to look for a needle in a haystack and is mostly busy with removing and reorganizing the early stage source code, offered once by VIA. As you posted, the fglrx has same problems. It seems the companies will prefer to distribute closed source drivers for the next (long) time. So a hybrid solution could be the fastest way for users (except NVidia users), although it would result in redundancy. Anyway, 3D cards could by used independent from the will of the closed source driver developers, since companies like ati develop their linux driver with very low priority. Even lesser priority has the compatibility with XOrg. -- Configure bugmail: https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
