I agree these two points are very important indeed. I think that the DRI codebase could use a few more comments and has some redundancies which are very difficult to factor them out due to all the different driver peculiarities, but besides that is actually very clean and easy to read considering its size. Documentation to attract more developers was one of the main reasons why I compiled and wrote the DRI Developers' FAQ: http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/faq/ . > > Not that i have paid enough time to find anything, but i think that a > dia overview diagram of the overall structure/APIs would be extremely nice. > > e.g. how XFree talks to DRM, what DRMs are supposed to provide, DMA issues > etc etc > > also examples could be very useful indeed... There are already some very good diagrams on http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc and I hope that someday that the DRI Driver HOWTO, http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/howto/ , will give the examples you want, but it's still in early stages. Please feel free to contribute to any of these [in the wide sense] documentation projects. Regards, José Fonseca __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
