With all this dicussion of Matrox and SGVA I must ask.... Has anyone built a driver, or are you using VESA BIOS ? I have svga (kinda) ported to my own little OS, which isn't Linux. I have a lab of 15 Hp machines with G200-AGP systems. If there is want for a svga driver, I would be willing to help "facilitate" it. I have a strong need to a simple (enters SVGA modes, hardware blit acceleration not required) SVGALIB driver. I emailed Matan and he said it shouldn't be too hard to read the X11 sources and borrow from there. Well, I read the sources and got scared of the compute_best_timing() routine in X11 for the G200. Anyone else feel up to the task? I would be willing to maintain the code (and test it), but I don't have the time to decipher X11 (though it looks well structured). Ask me about scheduling and ethernet device drivers, but not graphics cards. *brian witt, part-time teaching unit, CSU Sacramento bwitt-at-value.net
