right now just the 300 series (300, 305?, 540, 630/S/ST, 730) have DRI support. the old series 6326, 620, 530 don't have DRI support, but but there are docs available (on the dri website I think) to write a DRI driver; there was also a utah-glx driver for the that series. I think the 6327 might have been the internal sis name for the 300 series, although that's just a guess on my part. The 6326 and the 300 series might be simialr enough to support them both with one driver, but I
No, they are not.
So...the 6327 is the 300 series, and it is not similar at all to the 6326? It's also not at all similar to the 315 series? Wow. Their hardware designers really went out of their way to make a driver writer's life miserable. :(
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.
I certainly wouldn't buy one to replace my Radeon 8500! :) It would be exclusively to update the drive. It's the same reason I would be a Gamma card w/an R2 rasterizer...too bad there are *none* on eBay. After I realized that, I pretty much give up any hopes of the gamma driver ever being updated. That is, unless 3dlabs were to give out documentation for an R3 or R4 rasterizer.
It's doubtful however since sis refuses to hand out docs any more.
Once they are through with what is going on right now (can't tell you), the situation might become better.
We'll all be waiting with bated breath. :)
Thanks for your help.
