Thanks for the information. After spending some time learning about the Gallium driver architecture, I think it might be better to set a goal to implement or improve a specific feature of the Gallium R300 driver rather than trying to get a specific game or application to work. Is there a feature that is currently missing from the R300 driver that might make a good project for the summer? -Tom Stellard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
