Hi Guys,
Since working with Mesa 7.3 and building my driver kept me quite busy, and
in spite some scouting I'm not really up to speed with Gallium, DRI2 state
trackers and other 7.5 mumbo jumbo.
I have an X driver but, for performance, the driver I eventually used is
something new I added on the "src/drivers" level to patch into my embedded
platform's native API. I'd like to start porting this embedded graphics
system driver from Mesa 7.3 to 7.5.
1. Am I thinking straight?
My rationale for doing this is that I'd like to use the recent additions
making GLES and OpenVG available - first for the sake of playing with them,
and second hoping this would be a good way of getting something like SVG
working smoothly on my platform. I can't find alternative implementations
for Linux and implementing these myself is well beyond my reach. I'm
concerned that for instance SVG won't get accelerated since there's no SW
implementation yet that I could find to use OpenVG (I suppose since until
now there was no real OpenVG support...) but that's another matter.
2. Where do I start then?
First I need to get better acquainted with the driver modules necessary for
the new architecture - what's the best way of doing this?.
Then you'll probably say read the latest RC code. Fine - what parts of it
then? for each module of driver that I need to write, which existing drivers
set a good example?
If I've neglected to mention information necessary for obtaining the
directions I seek do let me know and I'll fill in the gaps.
Cheers!
