This mail has been posted on xwin-discuss mailing list. As both of us see the sentence - 'Still need the kernel side DRM update...'. Does it mean that full 3D GPU enabled acceleration we won't see in b122? If so when we could expect this to happen? I already started learning ATI's GPU R3xx/R5xx series architecture to be able to create driver on my own. Also, I started to learn Gallium3D architecture because it is future of driver development model. Also, I hoped that someone already did drivers now. Any comments?
