Anyway, if you don't mind I would like to ask you two more questions then: 1) does this mean that I can't use Open Source Graphics Drivers for GMA3150? 2) if this is not true and Intel has not publicly released any programming documentation for GMA3150, who and how are this drivers written? By reading source code can we understand how GMA3150 works?

The gen3 support was originally written by Tungsten Graphics under contract with Intel (with NDA documentation), and is currently maintained by Intel directly. It's quite readable, as drivers go. In many cases reading the code is more enlightening than reading documentation anyway. - ajax signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
