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.
You can have a look at the Janitor page there is a small TODO list, it is quite general, not precise as you mean but still you can find something there.
