Don't know if this has been mentioned here before or not, but I see a lot of use for this project way beyond just a 2d/3d accelerator. What I would like to see is a board with an FPGA, and a few high quality video DACs and ADCs. This would allow the open source community to use the same board for creating a video adaptor, capture card, mpeg encoder/decoder, or anything that could be optimized in hardware.
There is a poject that just came out a while back (can't remember the name of it) that does real time raytracing on a FPGA. A simple development board like this would be great for bringing hardware accellerators to almost every task imaginable, because all the harware (the "hard part" of the job) is already done. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
