3) obtain the chips documentation from 3D Labs and give that to the community. Like Sun already did for his own chips. It can be understood that 3D Labs don't want to provide documentation for advanced 3D features. But not publishing the basics to use the chip is utterly outrageous.
The docs we received from Intense3D and later 3DLabs were: 1. Paper only. I never saw electronic copies of these docs and even the 3DLabs employees used paper copies. This could pose a distibution problem even if Creative wants to release them. 2. Not separated into basic and advanced functionality. If Creative is approached to release docs they will need to decide to release everything. Does "basics" mean the highly touted dumb frame buffer implementation for FreeBSD is sufficient? I had previously assumed people wanted full 2D and 3D acceleration for OpenSolaris. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
