First of all a working framebuffer driver is required that exposes an accelerator id and mmio regions (check output of "fbset -i"). You can then look at the nVidia DirectFB for example, it's not as big as the NeoMagic or 3dfx driver which also would be a good point to start. There are some other people willing to write a Radeon driver or even rewrite the Rage128 driver to support both chip families. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-dev" as subject.
