I think Jonh saw the amount of work that would be needed, above and beyond getting specifications, and dropped the idea. We already had a couple of e-mails between Jonh and myself about the content of the mail, and I gather he feels that the task is beyond just providing specifications, as the whole community behind the previous SiS drivers has left. Jonh, is that correct? Cheers _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
