I've found myself in the unfortunate ownership of many of these pitiful SiS315-based cards and boards with onboard SiS video. I may be interested in reverse-engineering, as I rather like that sort of tedious work. however, after seeing as much as I have seen from these short-sighted companies, I think an organized boycott of SiS would be more effective for getting our hands on specs, or even a closed-source driver.
their chipset quality is already extremely lacking, and they will have a really hard time beating VIA on, well, anything...and VIA is starting to release their stuff open-source! SiS doesn't have much to bargain with. I will help how I can... -Benjamin Vander Jagt need help writing driver for SiS m650 The Slash Mon, 02 May 2005 10:33:05 -0700 well since there is no DRI support for the SiS m650, and according to what I heard there never will be, I have decided to write my own. I have never written my own driver before, and I'm a little confused as to where to begin. I know that SiS does not normally distribute there hardware specs, so i might end up having to reverse-engineer the windows drivers. any advice on where to start for this sort of thing? and if i were able to get the info from SiS, what exactly would I need? -- This is The Slash, signing off **click** ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
