Hi all, [I'm not subscribed, please CC me] I'm wondering how nouveau relates to this free nvidia 3D driver for beos. Perhaps you could use code from it? I think it is utah-glx related. http://be-hold.blogspot.com/ --=20 bye, pabs http://pabs.zip.to |

I'm in contact with the author and we are exchanging ideas/findings :) Also, the 2D driver from haiku is quite good and has more features than our "nv" DDX. Stephane |

Is there anything I can do to help with this? I have a few nvidia cards here. Riva128, TNT, TNT2, Geforce, Geforce3, GeforceFX 5900XT and GeforceFX 6800GT. In addition, I don't fear to install some really experimental stuff on some of the machines these cards are builtin ;) > Stephane Regards, Michael |

We're working on getting nv20 and up to work (and getting nv10 to work in TCL mode). If you feel like working on that, here is what to do : - get renouveau, the tool to figure out commands from http://nouveau.sourceforge.net/ - look at http://nouveau.sourceforge.net/required-functionality.html and decide a feature/card to figure out (please avoid nv03 for now) - send OpenGL commands that achieve what functionality you want, and try to make sense of the output Also, we hang in #nouveau, irc.freenode.net if you're irc'ing.

I will play with this stuff next weekend and see what I get. I didn't irc till now, but I think I will give that one a try too :) > Stephane Thanks, Michael |
