How can we XGI share our Linux 2D driver with the open source community? Thanx
Hi All I am a developer from XGI Technology which is a new company stem from graphic dpt. of Trident and graphic dpt. of Sis. Now we want to share our linux 2D driver with open source community. Then what should we do? Pls give some advice or suggestions. Thanx a lot. Bst.,rgds Yukun,Chen ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It's pretty easy. Have a look at the existing drivers to find out about the internals of the driver model. And publish the source. Someone will pick it up, review it and eventually merge it with XFree86 CVS (as has happended with the via driver recently). Please, please, please DO NOT produce a driver which is a patch for an already existing driver. This means especially that I (as the author and maintainer of the SiS driver) will not merge XGI support into the SiS driver, despite the fact that some of your current hardware might be compatible to existing SiS hardware. The SiS driver is already big enough. But of course, nobody says that you can't base your driver on the SiS driver (as an example for that matter). For more general issues, somebody else might stand up and speak?

Please send all submissions through our bugzilla interface at http://bugs.xfree86.org and use the attachment features to attach your patch/driver. Additionally mark the submission as an enhancement. The CVS committers will pick that up and make any suggestions related to it and later commit the code. Alan. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Thank you for producing an opensource driver! Any possibility of a open source 3D driver down the road? even a lite version? Welcome to the Community!

Compatibility between HP-UX 10.3 Xfree86 on Freebsd 4.8
I've developed code on the HPUX platform using the native X11R6 windowing supplied using g++ 2.95.2. In the code there are public domain widget such as a Notebook widget and XgComboBoxWidget. The identical code compiled on both systems unchanged produces strange results on the FreeBsd box. HP box is running CDE and FreeBsd KDE. For example, the XgComboBoxWidget will not drop down the list on the FreeBsd box but works properly on the HP UX box. Is this a KDE window manager difference? How compatible is Xfree86 to what would normally be found on commercial box such as HP UX? I've checked the obvious places such as code specific for a platform. The widgets i have are pretty simple and really have no system dependencies in them . Where can i start looking ? Has anyone ever experienced these kinds of anomalies and if so what where they caused by? Looking for any clue at this point.
