Hi, I recently bought an old laptop with a Compaq AVGA video chipset, and I did not find any support for it under xfree86-4.3.0, but there is an AVGA driver for xfree86-3.3.6. I am thinking about porting it to 4.x. Is there any work already underway with the AVGA driver for 4.x or do I need to start from scratch?
I don't have any previous driver programming experience, but I have started reading the xfree86 DESIGN document and have some documentation for the AVGA chipset from VGADOC, but it doesn't seem complete. I've also looked at xfree86.org/developer.html and xfree86.linuxwiki.org. Does anyone have any more hints about how to start, what documents to read, if there are any 4.x drivers which could be similar to the AVGA driver, better chip documentation etc? --- David Larson email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
