Reading the ODP version I have these comments:
Sorry. I typo'd the filenames. They're speech3.*
On slide 7: You write "Graphics hardware for /desktop/". But, doesn't this board also have a significant niche for servers? Servers usually don't need #D, they just need decent 2D 99.9% of the time, so OGA1/TRV10 would seem to me to be a perfect match as either a build in or an add-in card for servers.
You have a good point. But others have argues that for servers, they often don't even install X11, so what you get is 80x25 text on the boot console, and you use remote access for everything else. In that case, buying the cheapest thing you can get your hands on for the boot console is all you need. On the other hand, if you have a box that serves double-duty, then an open graphics card would be ideal.
Maybe you should mention when the first real consumer grade cards (OGA1) are expected to be available for purchase.
I couldn't possibly guess when that will happen. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
