Correction here. It does draw triangles. But that's about it. The documentation is seriously lacking and so bringing up the engine on how to draw triangles is the hardest part. Now that it draws triangles I was going to revisit the Command Queueing engine. I've just never had enough time to devote back to it.
NOTE: That the code in Mesa CVS, is for the CyberBladeXP. So it won't work on other CyberBlades.
