Uros, Next time, please start a new discussion with a new subject instead of hijacking an unrelated thread. Thanks.
Anyway, we're writing more detailed gallium docs under src/gallium/docs/ Have you seen those? Also bear in mind that we're probably not going to write docs specifically targetting newbies. A certain level of expertise in computer graphics is a prerequisite. If you have specific questions you can post them to the list but remember that we're all very busy and usually have to pick and choose which threads we respond to. -Brian Uros Nedic wrote: > Hi guys, > > It would be very important that your small Gallium community > could be larger if you develop some Documentation.
