AFAIU project accepts resources (documentation, code) under NDA. Can't VIA just give additional docs and/or code of current 3D driver with some explainations about parts that can't be published (all under NDA)? I'm not expert about all that, just trying to find way for VIA to get open source 3D driver. Forgive me if answer is obvious. -- Rafał Miłecki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
