yehhhs... and proprietary right now, so not going to happen. btw that reminds me: if anybody wishes to enter a proposal with the CELF to bid for, either as a group or as individuals, for the upcoming funding to reverse-engineer PowerVR SGX, *do* put your name down: http://elinux.org/Create_Open_Source_PowerVR_GPU_driver i've made it clear that i am happy to step down from the role, and/or play a "back-seat" role as reverse-engineering advisor, to anyone who comes forward. i'd really really much prefer that. we *have* to start somewhere, which is usually what i'm good at (having done both the nt domains reverse-engineering that kick-started samba into a new level, _and_ the reverse-engineering for exchange 5.0 which kick-started the entire openchange project into existence); the funding will at least make sure that that *can* be started. and if nothing else it will shove a rocket up imgtec's backside get them to f*****g well move on their "promise" to release entirely free software powervr sgx source code. which, btw, is ported from win32 drivers *shudder* and they run a script on it to strip out all comments *sigh*... l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
