That seems unfortunate (for any chip maker) considering how many people
buy Nvidia cards because they "just work" in windows or linux.  I know a
fair number of people personally that do this ... I wonder how many
there are elsewhere in the world.

After having attempted to get something going with them through my employer 
trying to support both the 300 and the 315 (Their then current card that is 
now out on store shelves...), I'd say that it's an uphill battle.  We have an 
NDA with them, but they won't disclose anything other than the 2D and MPEG 
support portions of the chip to us.

[Dri-devel] SiS Xabre

2002-05-28 Thread Al Tobey

Since it seems to be my turn to spam the list...
Has anybody talked to SiS about this beastie (Xabre) yet?  It's brand
new and I can't even find a card for sale, but there are a few reviews
floating about the net.  Might be nice to get a decent card supported in
DRI before it hits EOL ;)
