I rewrote your October lkml announcement from point form to text and added something about the 3D capability. Sorry about the run-on sentences and other defects. It came out as basically a description of the card, but how else would you describe a driver project? "This project develops driver software and video BIOS firmware for the Open Graphics Card designed by Timothy Miller of Tech Source Inc. The Open Graphics Card provides VGA text and accelerated 2D and 3D graphics. It supports OpenGL 1.3 with various ARB extensions. Uniquely, it features fully open x86 BIOS/OpenBoot/OpenFirmware code and DRI drivers, all under GPL or BSD licenses. A 2D accelerated X11 module is available under the MIT license. The Open Graphics Card has a flashable PROM so that boot code can be developed for other platforms, so it can be used as console on any platform that can take a PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express card. Schematics for the circuit board are freely downloadable. The card uses a FPGA-based graphics engine, so it is reprogrammable at the logic level. Instructions on reprogramming the FPGA are available, meaning this card logic is fully hackable. Tech Source may even release the Verilog code for the card logic if the card is discontinued. Tech Source actively supports the open source community in this driver development project."
