Is anyone on either of these lists familiar with XGI?  It seems to be a
new GPU manufacturer consisting of a merger of Trident and the SiS
graphics division.

here's their website:
http://www.xgitech.com/index.htm

They have some interesting products products (dual GPU solution).  Some
of their other stuff looks similar to existing SiS and trident
products.  They mention linux support, but I see no links to drivers
anywhere.  does anyone know anymore about this company?  Are they
writing xfree drivers or with any existing drivers work with these
chips?  SiS has has a bad record of giving out specs on it's newer
chips; trident I guess has been a little bit better.


SiS spins off their 3D buisness and it gets named Xabre
Trident buys/merges, whatever with Xabre, and the new company is named
XGI
I think they it became official on the 13 or 14th, don't remember. So
for now, its just the Xabre products and the trident products
(cyberblade2, etc).

To me the interesting thing is the mpeg-2 decoder. VIA's Castlerock has one, too. Does anyone have any thoughts as to where an interface into these decoders should exist? E.g., userland, XF drivers, kernel?
