You will be interested by egl-dri see on freedesktop for egl mailing list archive. It's not right now usable with any dri driver but you could expect a radeon r200 support soon (IIRC Dave is working on that). Meanwhile Jon Smirl done the fbdev support for it, it should be operational though i haven't get time to test it. See http://www.khronos.org/opengles/spec/ for egl description & that draft of egl mesa extension in egl-dri mailing list archive. If you can't wait you can try miniglx see www.mesa3d.org but i am not sure that it isn't broken right now... > Currently, I am running with the ATI fglrx driver as last time I tried I > was unable to get r300 working in Linux under Xen (fglrx also needed > some hacking of the open part of the driver, but I have that sorted now). Maybe if i get little free time & if no one do it before me (read please do it before ;-)) i will add egl support to r300... Sorry but what is exactly xen (googling give me pointless informations i think...). :) Jerome Glisse ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
