People willing to run a binary driver would also be willing to run a binary OS, so the list is even longer. NetBSD - 59 platforms FreeBSD OpenBSD DragonflyBSD Plan 9 Inferno Mach Minix Hurd ? (Atari) ? (Amiga) BeOS OS X (Apple) VMS/OpenVMS SunOS/Solaris/OpenSolaris OSF/Digital Unix/Tru64 AIX Dynix/Dynix PTX Irix? (Silicon Graphics) HPUX? (HP) I don't know how many platforms each of these supports, but it looks like the number of binary drivers required would easily be over 100. Support for previous releases is also required, so multiply by 3 or 4 for that. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
