I totally agree. Drivers development is really undocumented :/ I have problems understanding how DDX (modesetting) driver works, and most answers I have to get from IRC, not Google. I'm totaly scared of any 3D or even Xv programming. Add the fact that code also lacks documentation and it's extremly hard for some newbie to dig into that. Would be great if someone could document all that, but it seems noone is interested in that. Ppl how already understand that focus on coding, not documenting :/ -- Rafał Miłecki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
