Any help (especially with drivers) is highly appreciated. > I'm trying to bring up the Radeon driver and would be grateful if > someone could summarize its current state. I've pulled down the The driver accelerates FillRectangle(), DrawRectangle() and DrawLine() with a solid color, i.e. no drawing flags. It also accelerates Blit() with and without color keying. Further acceleration, especially blending, requires the 3D engine, though the Rage128 already had StretchBlit() and alpha blending without it. Michel D�nzer started with some DRM initialization code, but I hope that we can use the 3D engine without using DRM, because it's functionality goes far beyond what is needed. > latest sources from CVS, but I suspect my .../linux/fb.h file is stale > (?) in that it doesn't include the 'ACCEL' #define for this driver, so > it declines to build for me. Please check that /usr/include/linux/fb.h is that from your kernel. I always do the following: $ cd /usr/include $ rm -rf asm linux $ ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm $ ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux > Also, can anyone summarize ATI's position on support for open-source > projects related to their chips?

I don't expect any useful help from ATI ;( -- 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-users" as subject.
