Hi,
I just wanted to ask how driver development is done at Solaris?
- Do you ask hardware makers for the specs?
- Do you do reverse engineering?
- Do you look at oher drivers from Linux or BSD?
For x86 video drivers, we download the sources from X.Org and
build them, just like our colleagues in the Linux & BSD distros do.
Those drivers, depending on the hardware, come from:
- contributions by vendors
- community members with specs
- reverse engineering
