Why not try this: http://www.xgitech.com/products/products_2.asp?P=3&CTID={FF897122-33EB-4016-8AF1-06B1372EBDB0}
Not only are the specifications of the chip very interesting (256-bit
3D engine, 4 pixel pipelines, Hardware T&L engine, Vertex & Pixel
Shaders 2.0, HDTV 480i/480p/1080i/720p YPbPr Output Signals, Hardware
VCD, DVD and HDTV decoding, etc.) but they ALSO ALREADY have open
source drivers (Linux/Redhat, MESA and DRI).
Could you point us to the driver source? I downloaded the Linux driver tarball for the Volari V5 from the download section of XGI's site, and it contained binary-only X driver and DRI libs.
There was source in there for a framebuffer driver, but that's
elementary 2D only. There was also source for the kernel DRM, but that's
only a very very small part of a complete 3D driver.
