The new FireGL boards are Radeon based (FireGL 8x000 and later), the old FireGL boards like yours (FireGL 1 and FireGL /2/3/4) were IBM chipset based. Needs rewrite from scratch and it's unlikely that you'll get the documentation for this from IBM. :-( > Will the fact that closed source drivers are available from ATI impede > efforts by the xfree team to write an opensource driver, even tho only a > single architecture is supported.. especially considering these cards are > shipped primarily for use in HP PA-RISC workstations.
