We don't quite have hardware for which to write a BIOS. > What > drivers are already present? I have only seen Paul Brook's initial xorg > drivers. That's it. We have a prototype OGD1 board with minimal framebuffer support, and Paul Brook wrote a driver for it so we could demo it. > > Is there a patch for Qemu for adding an OGD card to it?

That would be sweet. We're definitely going to need one. As I mentioned, there's been commercial interest in our VGA core, and while they certainly won't commit to anything, they still seem very interested in the idea. If we had it right now, they'd probably license it. As for licensing, is there any chance we'd be able to get permission for Traversal to commercially license it? If we're forced to use LGPL, thay may be okay, or it could be a problem. -- 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)
