The code should be license-compatible at least, but I'm unsure how compatible in terms of passed parameters, which might impact the implementation. I think I checked pixman way back when while looking for YUV conversion implementations, but at that time the support wasn't really there (I think it only converted to/from RGB formats). It would be very nice to have proper YUV conversion support in pixman and if the x-v-o implementation would work for that, that's cool. And vice versa, when pixman has YUV support then we should port x-v-o to that. I don't foresee myself having time to contribute to this any time soon though. > > Also, does xf86-video-omapfb have some kind of mailing list, irc > channel, web site, ... anything really?

No, the project hasn't been popular enough to warrant creating such thus far :) Also, "real soon now" there will be omapdrm which partly obsoletes this driver. Though if omapdrm does not and/or can not be made to support OMAP2, then this driver still has it's place. -- Kalle Vahlman, z...@iki.fi Powered by http://movial.com Interesting stuff at http://sandbox.movial.com _______________________________________________ Pixman mailing list Pixman@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pixman
