The driver will be an incremental change. The 6xx family is conceptually different inside and there is a learning curve, but the basic programming model is largely unchanged from previous generations. There are just a lot more changes in things like memory controller setup, and some of the VAP functionality moves into vertex shaders. We definitely plan to do any further work on Gallium; we just want to get a 6xx 3D driver in users hands quickly on a code base that everyone knows already. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
