True. Though with the source and clever questions you can pick up these things with a bit of determination and effort. Personally I think the biggest stumbling block to working on dri is lack of specs for the hardware. The /usr/src/linux/drivers... will be similar for lots of hardware too (or even absent from that directory for that reason) As was said, it's very like porting linux, especially in the sense that what you write is the x86-ness or the m68k ness, not the http or tcp/ip stack (well, obviously there are issues and I've oversimplified, but the essence is the hardware and the more that a modern graphics card does, the more that the key thing to functionality and performance is programming that hardware) -- Michael. _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
