[Mesa3d-users] Support for Savage4 Pro?

[Simos X. <S.X...@rh...>]

Hello, 
This is another question of "is this hardware supported".
I would be glad if you could nack/ack the following...


A graphics card is 'supported', if it is supported in

	* XFree86 version x.y.   = for 2D graphics
	* Mesa3D		 = for 3D graphics (plus 2D, ...) 

A user to be (initially) happy, needs the first, the Xfree86 support.
Then, for 3D graphics, only MesaGL-enabled applications with Xfree86
supported graphics cards provide fast and nice graphics.

My card, with the Savage4 Pro chipset, is supported by Xfree86
and that is nice.

However, at www.mesa3d.org I see no reference to Savage4, so no Mesa3D
support.

The OpenGL(r) hardware acceleration support for a specific chipset is
only total or can also be partial? That is, some 3D graphic primitives
may be supported by my card although no developer has tried them. I
could be lacky that a 3D operation may work because it coincides with
another card?

Please nack/ack the above, I would like to have a clearer view on the
issue. Any links to FAQ are welcome too.

Simos Xenitellis
