1.) can you please tell me, since Scitech drivers are based on Mesa, why
there is no mention of them on Mesa web site?
Mesa is BSD licensed, anyone can and does take it and use it, the project
may never find out or have any contact with the ppl using it...
2.) can you help me figure out, how come no one uses Scitech to do
Linux without X even tho they are clean, working solution? and, i mean
there is not a single Linux project using them, until now..
closed source? no idea what level the drivers are at..
i could not figure out 'Mesa minixgl', dont even know what exactly and where
is the source code for it, i tried GGI, directFB and looked into other
without X projects, but they so much trouble to compile, have dependencies
that i want to get rid of, hard to isolate, clean or are simply too big.
since all the 'Linux without X' drivers are based on Mesa anyway, i assume
minixgl might be most simplistic and smallest, therefore best solution for
me, so:
is minixgl active? can someone point out if there is nice simple link
that will download all necessary source of minixgl in ONE file?
Miniglx isn't active in the sense of ppl do development on it to further
it, I have deployed it in a number of OpenGL without X platforms, and I
generally take the Mesa tree, make it work for what I want, and if the
changes are applicable to upstream I push them back into the mesa tree, at
this stage I'm probably the miniglx de-facto maintainer... miniglx ships
as part of Mesa (but not in the tarballs..) you'll have to use git to grab
the latest Mesa development tree then make linux-solo-x86 in theory
should build a miniglx system, that along with a couple of hacks the drm
to bypass the master authorisations should allow it to run on radeon or
intel (granted I don't use radeon with it anymore so it may have
bitrotted..)
Miniglx currently in theory works hw-accelerated on radeon and intel i9xx
hardware using the Linux kernel fb-drivers to do modesetting, and the drm
to do the 3D acceleration, when the intel modesetting code is in the drm
tree I'll make a miniglx to use that as opposed to fbdev just for a proof
of concept and for perhaps an upcoming deployment into a production
system..
