You don't describe the circumstances under which you acquired
the databook, but you should be -real sure- that the company won't
take offense before you make any releated code available.


My plans are..
1. Making a minor patch to the XFree driver for this
chip (to do a Left/Right mirror image).
 -- I hope to get my feet wet so to say with
communicating with this chip with this.

Some would say there is no such thing as a "minor" patch to XFree...especially
the first patch, but that is a sensible approach.


2. Making a DRI driver for this chip.

Considering this is a completely NEW driver for this
project, is it better to make a preliminary driver
first before getting cvs access to commit?

YES!!  You should be able to build it and test it in every torturous
way you can think of before even thinking of committing it.
