Newer mainboards have fewer and fewer PCI slots. Personally I don't think needing a seperate computer for every 1 or 2 boards is acceptable. Especially when they put such a small amount of functionality on a board. > > The real unserved market is Ethernet, but I don't expect to be able > > to convince anyone of that. > > heh... make that the Open-X-Terminal ;D Yes, an X-Terminal that does SD and HD video as well as "desktop" type X apps.

Question is, how far behind SOTA will the process available to OGP be?

Solaris, *BSD, and other Unix kernels are significantly different than Linux. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
