[Dri-devel] Join forces towards DRI support for Savage4, Twister, Prosavage?

[Felix <fx...@gm...>]

Hello Tim,

as mentioned earlier on sav...@pr... I'm working on the savage S3
code drop, specifically on the 3D driver. A few days ago I managed to
get a working 3D driver ported to Mesa 4. It is now in DRI CVS on the
savage-2-0-0-branch. However, many users (including myself) are
experiencing more or less serious problems with the 2D driver from the
code drop. We have to use it for now as it is the only driver we have
that is DRI aware. It also has some nice features that would be worth
integrating into a reliable 2D driver, like interpolated scaling of
video overlays or hardware motion compensation.

I have no experience with XFree86 2D drivers and not much useful
documentation of the Savage hardware. I was hoping that we could join
forces towards a Savage 2D and 3D driver combination for future XFree86
releases. Therefore I'm writing to you as the maintainer of the Savage
2D driver now.

Please get in touch if you're interested. We can discuss further details
later on.

Happy holidays and best regards,
  Felix


Disclaimer: I'm only speaking for myself here, not as a representative
of the DRI team. However, I do believe that a cooperation would make
everybody happy. ;-)
