from the log: <idr> To do that we're going to "port" the *OLD* 500TX driver to DRI. :) <anholt> 500tx is a what? <idr> anholt: The GLINT before the MX. ... <idr> anholt: It should be *much* faster. The Delta does all the geometry setup. This is the mode the current gamma driver uses. <anholt> hmm <idr> Part of this work may lead into making some updates to the gamma driver. Does anyone have *any* docs for any of the GLINT chips? <idr> Even the old leaked TI docs for the Permedia2 would be helpful. :)
Sven Luther did some DRI work a while back for permedia/2/3 and he is currently working on a 2D driver for the new wildcat VP cards. I think 3dlabs is pretty good about giving databooks out to developers, at least they used to be. You might just want to ask them. Also there is the tdlabs-0-0-1-branch branch in cvs http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/680/2002/8/0/9462918/ http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08196.html and, from the log: <idr> fxkuehl: I have a Savage/IX (or something similar) in my ThinkPad T21. ... <anholt> so is the savage4 the same sort of thing as a savage mx/ix? ... <idr> anholt: I believe so. Actually the savage mx/ix chips are based on the old savage3D core, while the DRI driver is for savage4/prosavage cores. I don't know how similar they are and whether the driver S3/VIA released will work on the older savage3D based chips like the mx or ix. they might need a separate driver much like the radeon r100 vs. r200.
