I don't think there's any guide to that. For a typical port to
unix/Xorg, you'd only need to port the DRM (which is the kernel
component) and that's about it.
However Syllable doesn't use Xorg so stuff that's usually setup in the
DDX will have to be done by your current 2D driver. Also, your 2D driver
will have to cooperate with the 3D driver nicely, which is not always given.

You may want to talk with the BeOS/Haiku guys, I think they considered
doing the same at some point, not sure if they tried however.

Porting DRI to New Platform

2006-11-05 Thread demetrioussharpe

Hello,


 


I'm Dee Sharpe and I have been working on the Syllable port of Mesa3d.  Now it is time to move on to hardware acceleration.  What would it take to port the DRI to another windowing system?  The glue code that I have to write will be in C++.  If anyone has pointers or guidelines on what I need to get the DRI running, I would be very thankful.
