<snip> bad eg and explanation thereof </snip> People aren't stupid they know Intel is trying to play in the graphics arena and is willing to do their own drivers, so they let tehm and do something else. OK but here is my take on it, people will work on what they are interested in, so if someone wants to work on R128 and ATI does give out docs for that chip then they should give it to him.
Whats the chance of ATI delegating some of this function to TG, ie just give all their hardware programmers guides etc that they are willing to let people see to TG with the understanding that TG only allow people who should see them to get hold of them. Surely TG can respond quicker than a juggernaut like ATI, and then Jon Smirl would have got his docs already and made some progress. This also makes sense in terms of concentrating development of OSS 3D drivers, allowing for higher productivity through division of labour, knowledge concentration, etc, rather than scattering the docs thinly accross the world to individuals. It doesn't compel those who have no interest in DRI but it sure helps those who do. cheers Liam ------------------------------------------------------- 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
