Hi All, I am a college student looking for a bit of a project to tackle over winter break (having no car really sucks) with quite a bit of programming experience. While I have never worked with driver development, I have a good working knowledge of graphics hardware and architecture. My laptop having a Radeon Mobility X300, I have an interest in advancing X300 support, in particular the RENDER extension (3D I suspect is a little over my head). Are there any roadblocks in the way of moving forward with RENDER support in the DRI drivers? Or perhaps more importantly, is a relative graphics novice such as myself capable of X300 RENDER development? If so, where is a good place to start? I understand that there are no specs for the X300 (at least on the 3D side, is the 2D engine documented?), so does most work come from reverse engineering the ATI binary driver? What tools can be used in tracing the operation of the driver? Does it entail just tracing the instruction flow with a disassembler? I look forward to hopefully working with you guys in the future (exams end next Thursday :( ) Thanks for your time,
