Yes, this is how I see it as well. I contacted Intel about this, and they said that they are considering to release the needed information here: http://developer.intel.com/design/chipsets/manuals/ The person who answered my questions didn't know for sure if the specs will be released, or when. I've also tried to contact HP about this, but since only Windows is officially supported, they are reluctant to update the BIOS to include the required switch to select reserved video memory amount. >If believe the XiG X server works around this issue, so it >should be possible for someone familiar with the driver to add >support as well given access to the necessary docs from Intel, etc. The Intel rep said that they'd rather release the spec to the public than to a select group of people with NDA's. Hope they don't decide not to release the spec... Please keep me in the CC list in replies, as I'm not subscribed to the list. -- Henri Muurimaa _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
