You'll have to be more precise about what's your problem (/var/log/XFree86.0.log would help). I'm not aware of any limitation of the mach64 driver regarding PCI cards since at this moment it doesn't use any of the AGP features. > I hope I can do something, if just some one can push me in the right > direction. > (not out :-) > Have you taken a look at the FAQ ( http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/dri/faq/html/ )? It was with that purpose it was written. If you have any further enquire, post it here, or in the weekly meetings, and we'll be glad to answer. On the beggining I would suggest that you make some reading (as suggested in the new FAQ section http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/dri/faq/html/getting-started.html#SUGGESTED-READING ) and keep with your eyes on this list, specially on the work on mach64. (If you have joined recently this mailing list I can provide an uptodate mbox archive so that you can have a picture of what has been done lately.) At some point it will become clear to you in what you can help. > I have been reading and doing some trial and horror stuff, it would help > a lot > to have some hardware spec!

I don't know if you read the relevant parts ( http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/dri/faq/html/hardware.html#MACH64-INFO http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/dri/faq/html/getting-started.html#NDA ), but this is a way to achieve that. > But to send a patch I need the hardware spec to understand anything of > what I am doing ???? > Not necessarily. You could even try to fix something in XFree86 unrelated to any of this. Anyway, there is a lot to be done in the mach64 branch. We fortunately have a driver (even though imcomplete) in the Utah-GLX project which has been a more important reference than the specs. And at least for myself, only after three months after having the specs I really needed them to do something. This doesn't mean that you should quit of trying to get them. Just that your efforts would be better spent if you don't concentrate too much on that task and help as you can now and you'll get them in the process anyway. > Someone ? > > Regards > > /Tony > Regards, José Fonseca _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
