No, they are not.


don't know.  Thomas Winischhofer would probably be a better person to
ask.  I was thinking of tackling this myself to try and learn more

Erm, no. I know nothing about DRI. Please don't encourage people to ask me about it :)


about the DRI, and I'd be willing to try to help you if you wanted to. I'll even provide cards. sis 300 series cards are also very cheap.

I wouldn't buy a 300 series card nowadays, as cheap as they might be. They are quite slow and far behind today's standards. Their only strong side is video support.


What I'd like to know is how different the 3D engine is on the 315
series is from the 300 series, and whether that could be supported at
some point.

It's totally different; both register layout and other internals have changed - not even speaking of the Xabre 3D core (which is totally different to the 315's again)

Once they are through with what is going on right now (can't tell you), the situation might become better.
