Hi,

        I have been reading the XFree86 X server draft found in 
http://www.xfree86.org/current/design.html. Firstly, I would like to thanks 
for the excellent quality of the documentation seen there. Secondly, I would 
like to know if is there something I can aid on TODO tasks, such as some 
driver needing major assistance. As an undergraduate student, I still can 
enjoy my spare time doing these cool things :)

        Actually, all I did was recursivelly grep for "TODO" on hw/xfree86/drivers 
and choose one of the results to implement (I did choose the easiest one, 
recognize when CLGD7548 has 2MBs of RAM, just to get in touch with the code), 
but I wonder if is there something else not marked as TODO needing more 
attention. 

        Moreover, I have some personal projects I would like to do with video cards, 
such as adding asymmetric multiprocessing support to the Linux kernel by 
using some video card instructions (vectorial ones) instead of using CPU 
cycles to do that, hence my major interest is to aid on video drivers. Also, 
given this subject, if someone can suggest me a good card with available 
specs I could give a look on, I will be very glad.

Thanks in advance,
Lucas
