I know about Kendall Bennett and his work since two years ago... So I heard about SciTech Software, too. I have an InteGraphics graphic based card and I haven't any driver for Linux. During these years I hoped they'll provide any help for Linux, but I lost my hopes half a year ago. During that time, they added VBE/AF support only for two cards, much to slow for my hopes. Meanwhile, I start to build my own drivers (svgalib, X11, framebuffer) and right now I'm working on accelerated part. If anyone with an IGA168x chipset need them for test, please write to me. I'm interested in accelerated features, so VBE3.0 can't help me too much. VBE/AF implemetations are provided only by SciTech (I don't heard about this from a card manufacturer), but they're moving to slow. With the release of Linux support, I thoght that I lost my work meanings. I saw the release and it didn't look to pretty for me. In my opinion, NT DLL's looks a little bit overhand for me. So I'll continue my work and I have to be a little faster than them. :) So, should we concentrate on new drivers, or we'll have to wait the SciTech driver releases ? I don't know if worth it. Doru.
