I don't think there's much chance of ATI giving out those docs now. Matthew Tippet at ATI, who I have exchanged some e-mail with, said "It is unlikely (for a number of reasons) that we will be releasing any R300 specifications any time soon." This was back on March 4th.
When I pressed a little further for those reasons, it sounded like ATI thought the basic 3D functionality on the R300 (similar to what is supported in the open source R200 driver) is more closely tied to the advanced 3D functionality, making it difficult to separate the specs. I have my doubts that that is the real reason ATI won't do it :-) On the plus side, Vladimir Dergachev seems really interested in getting the R300 supported, with or without ATI's help. I'm certainly willing to test anything on the 9800 that I have floating around :-) Adam On Tue, 4 May 2004, Dax Kelson wrote: > Now that ATI has released R420 hardware what are the chances of getting > docs for the now legacy R300/350 chips? > > It would be very very good if there was a good open source 3D driver. > > The R200 hardware is getting long in the tooth now, and I have a room > full machines with R350 cards. > > Dax Kelson > Guru Labs > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g > Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
