I recently moved and updated the Gallium wiki pages which were on the TG site to freedesktop.org: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gallium I updated the links to it in the mesa docs, but perhaps there are stale links elsewhere. > While this is true, it's still got a lot of writing, and a lot of > theory.

I've tested gallium/softpipe with Glean, etc. (some sub-tests very frequently). There are some open issues, but softpipe is mostly in good shape. > The idea is that, with a bit of time, we can start to pare down the st > set into something coherent.

It might be time to start entering the open issues into bugzilla to track them and encourage fixing. Anyway, I'm glad to see your interest in this. -Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
