I'd like to put out a call for 4 or 5 driver writers to help with
the following pieces of software for OGD1, OGC1, etc.:
- VGA BIOS - Linux kernel driver - Linux fbconsole driver - Linux
DRI driver - X11 DDX module - Mesa driver (later than the others)
Those that volunteer will be lent OGD1 cards. Most likely, those
who check in working code will get their loans made permanent.
Response from a potential driver author: where is the programming
info?
Probably a good idea. I'm not sure the subject of the actual
programming interface has been discussed anywhere... Obviously in VGA
mode it needs to have the VGA register set. However what about the
programmatic interface for 'OGD native' mode?
It is completely pointless to work on a driver -- or even call for
driver writers -- when no specs are available.
Furthermore, one can even write a driver with specs but no hardware.
Most of my Linux drivers are written 100% from the docs, and only tested
after the initial coding is complete.
