I just wanted to mention that Google Summer of Code 2006 is starting to get organised.
Among the mentors, there's the X.org (http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas) organisation and, as an exemple of what could be done for such a project, they mention improving the DRI drivers (http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/SummerOfCode) like 3dfx's (note that the DRI link is for the out-dated last year edition).
So if any of the developping guru around here wants to try some driver hacking on a new platforme, we linux user would be really happy ?
Don't know, like maybe SFFT would like to take a small summer break from the DX9 drivers ? ...
(I'm just hoping to have a functionnal SLI under Linux. And if there's a way to be able to switch in-the-fly between DUAL-Chip mode (for xgl, cairo, gnash, etc. on the desktop) and FSAA 4x (for games) without restarting server, i'll be really happy...)
This topis is interesting. A help with Linux platforms would be very appreciated.
Do you have any progress about your project?
Bye bye
