If I've read the press releases correctly, the hardware pixels are 32-bits, not larger. The 10-bit color is acheived using 10-10-10-2 RGBA format. The 3DLabs P10 will also have 10-bit color, but there are no technical docs available for that part. -jwb ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
