They are providing docs and code (linux code) and I have a decent relationship with the Intel graphics devs. ATI/AMD has also become much more friendly and r500 and below should work fairly well. r600+ is still under development. Interestingly enough, VIA just released docs on some of their chips as well. I have it on my list to work on, but I don't yet have hardware to work with. robert. > --Artem > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " --=-PZ76WlNZ+KYNcVM+UG+b Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkk3BFQACgkQM4TrQ4qfROOdOQCeMiIjiX2RnDAVtXCYrLdqABNA vL0AnjTITiqRLack3i6KwoO+2Htxz8lR =2m9a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-PZ76WlNZ+KYNcVM+UG+b--
