Hello, are there any news WRT Chrome 9 3D support? I found this e-mail from beginning of 2009:
http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/2009-February/005327.html ======================================================================= There is currently no open source implementation of a Chrome9 3D driver and there will likely not be any until first the Chrome9 DRM is sorted out. Then a 3D driver using either DRI or Gallium 3D can be written, but this depend on VIA providing some pixel shaders documentation first. There is no ETA for such a documentation, but VIA is working on it. ======================================================================= Were there been any progress in the last 12 months? BTW, the problem is that Ubuntu Netbook Remix went for an OpenGL launcher screen, and on many netbooks the performance are simply unacceptable because of the software rendering. I'm not concerned about running 3D videogames on netbooks, anything that would allow to run the launcher at a decent speed would be enough.
