I've written an article that surveys the current State of Linux graphics and proposes a possible path forward. This is a long article containing a lot of detailed technical information as a guide to future developers. Skip over the detailed parts if they aren't relevant to your area of work.
http://www.freedesktop.org/~jonsmirl/graphics.html Topics include the current X server, framebuffer, Xgl, graphics drivers, multiuser support, using the GPU, and a new server design. Hopefully it will help you fill in the pieces and build an overall picture of the graphics landscape. The article has been reviewed but if it still contains technical errors please let me know. Opinions on the content are also appreciated. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
