I don't really understand the legal issues, though. What does a vendor ID legally mean? Is it a requirement of using the standard, or a matter of convention? If OHF paid for a vendor ID, would it be permissable to use it for any card that used the OGP design/chipset? Or does it really need to be applied to each separate manufacturer? What happens in the industry when a minor card manufacturer uses a major chipset? Does the ID follow the card manufacturer, or the chipset manufacturer?
I don't really know the rules, but I do know this: It is common to buy silicon from someone else, so the vendor ID is theirs, but the reseller may replace the SUBvendorid with their own ID. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
