[01:53] <SecretSquirrel> how goes the world tonight? [01:58] <SecretSquirrel> Hrm, quiet I guess. [02:49] <wt> quiet indeed [03:06] *** SecretSquirrel is now known as squirrel_away [03:20] *** TriztZZzzz is now known as TriztAway [04:57] *** chip___ is now known as chip_ [15:08] *** Alexliu has left [15:17] *** TriztAway is now known as Trizt [15:46] <Lord_Icon> yes [15:46] <Lord_Icon> very quiet [15:46] <Lord_Icon> :D [15:47] <karlmag> sssh.. don't wake anyone :) [15:47] <Lord_Icon> :D [15:47] <Lord_Icon> OKIE DOKIE! [15:47] <nh> *yawn* [15:47] <Lord_Icon> woah [15:47] * nh rolls over [15:47] * nh goes back to sleep [15:47] * Lord_Icon slaps nh [15:47] <nh> heh :) [15:47] <Lord_Icon> :D [15:48] <nh> This is a nice roundabout way for spamming the mailing list ;) [15:49] <Lord_Icon> it sure is [15:49] * Lord_Icon garnishes Lord_Icon's wages! [15:49] * Lord_Icon zones nh as Residential [15:49] * Lord_Icon slaps squirrel_work with a thick piece of mahogony! [15:49] <nh> o_o [15:49] <Lord_Icon> mwhahaha! [15:50] <karlmag> doesn't strike me as a nice thing to do (yeah, pun intended ;) [15:50] <Lord_Icon> heehe [15:52] * Lord_Icon #includes <iostream> [15:54] <karlmag> I'm trying to read up on the mailinglist from time-to-time, but can't say I manage to keep up... [15:55] <Lord_Icon> i'm doing pretty good [15:55] <Lord_Icon> was there a time about a week ago where there were no postings? [15:55] <karlmag> what's the current intended/hoped timeline for a finished product? (end user) [15:55] <nh> I'm basically waiting for something to happen on the software side. [15:56] <nh> I don't know anything about PCI, I try to avoid VGA, and I'm only just learning VHDL (not Verilog), so... [15:56] <Lord_Icon> i'm hoping i can get enough stuff crammed in my brain to write drivers for this [15:56] *** Trizt is now known as TriztAway [15:56] <karlmag> not being either hardware or software programmer I guess the best thing I can do is to buy a card or two when available [15:56] <nh> Welcome to the club, Lord_Icon :) [15:57] <Lord_Icon> i've never written drivers or anything low level like that before, so i'm going to get a bunch of books and spend the next 3 or 4 months reading and learning crap [15:57] <karlmag> "Linux Device Drivers 3rd ed"? :) [15:58] <Lord_Icon> hehe [15:58] <nh> I'm working on the DRI driver for the R300 family (not as much as I'd like due to real world time constraints), and boy is the lack of documentation frustrating. [15:58] <Lord_Icon> :down: [15:58] <Lord_Icon> stupid lack of documentation [15:58] <TriztAway> Lord_Icon; kernel 2.6 driver only or 2.4 too? [15:59] <Lord_Icon> i'm probably going to be writing a windows driver, as i'm most used to that OS [15:59] <Lord_Icon> but mabye i'll try my hand at linux drivers down the road a bit [15:59] <nh> ah, that is going to be interesting [16:00] <Lord_Icon> yeah [16:00] <Lord_Icon> :D [16:00] <nh> are there *any* open source device drivers for windows at all? [16:00] <Lord_Icon> i have no idea, but just as a guess, i'm going with no [16:00] <nh> There are a few kernel drivers (ext2?) that are open source, but actual hardware drivers? [16:01] <karlmag> I believe I've heard about it, but no names are popping up [16:04] <karlmag> anyway.. timeline... I beleive I saw something about 1st or 2nd quarter of next year? [16:04] <karlmag> or am I dreaming again? [16:04] <Lord_Icon> might have been a chart possibly with color, and grpahics, and stuff and things [16:05] <karlmag> could be [16:05] <Lord_Icon> :D [16:06] <karlmag> (wasn't something I read today, btw, but a few weeks back) [16:06] <nh> http://opengraphics.gitk.com/ogplan.jpg <-- Timothy posted that a while back [16:06] <karlmag> that looks somewhat familiar [16:06] <karlmag> Q1, 2k6 [16:07] <nh> It's not clear when the first prototype board will be available to outsiders, but it's going to take some time [16:09] <nh> hmm.. November [16:10] <Lord_Icon> NOVEMBER! [16:11] * Lord_Icon slaps #opengraphics with NOVEMBER! [16:12] <karlmag> november is half a year away.. finished product is some months after that... I can wait for that. [16:12] <nh> I'm going to buy the project board as soon as possible [16:13] <Lord_Icon> i hear that [19:46] <TriztAway> Lord_Icon; so we can expect a finished product earliest in early 2006? [19:59] *** TriztAway is now known as Trizt [20:04] *** Trizt is now known as TriztZZzzz [22:04] <Lord_Icon> Trizt: it looks that way _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
