No, if that was all, it wouldnt be so bad... The project has no real documentation, theres no support from anywhere, and there is little help from hardware manufacturers. Even where there is, it doesnt encourage people to join in. With DRI you need to 'prove' you have manly balls by blindly fixing something without any documentation. only then will you stand any chance of ever seeing any documentation. To me, thats arse backwards. It should be that the documentation eases people into develpoing the code. not the other way round. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
