greetings;

i am interested in writing the bits required to get dri working on the SiS
630E (which evidently contains an SiS300 and SiS 301, among other things)
on FreeBSD. It's my understanding that this chipset is supported under
Linux, but i havent poked around in the tree yet.

is there such a thing as a porting guide? i have glanced at docs ref'd at

http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/DRIintro.html

the docs are kinda old. and the one that seems most pertinent:
DRICompile.html, is an invalid link.

now, i understand the basics:

1. Kernel Support
2. Make drm aware of the kernel support.

shoulnd't this be all? isnt it independent after that? that's what the drm
is for?

so, if there is a hardware porting guide beyond "Use The Source Luke!" i'd
love to take advantage of it.

is there a porting harness? ie, a stub that i can use to poke at the
kernel support so that i can make sure that it does what it's supposed to?

if the answer to both is no, cool. just let me know so that i done waste
time googling for something that doesnt exist ( ie: OpenGL "porting
guide" gives me lotsa links about how to move your apps from 'ClosedGL' to
OpenGL but i obviously am interested in the other end of the pipeline! )

tnx!

johnu
