Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Now that X is modular, we have the opportunity to do something really |
| 4 |
cool -- let people who actually own the hardware maintain the drivers! |
| 5 |
Almost all of the open-source drivers are currently maintained by |
| 6 |
x11@g.o (currently just me). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I need to lower my maintenance burden a bit, and it makes sense to do |
| 9 |
this by handing off things I don't have hardware for anyway. I only use |
| 10 |
these drivers: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
input: keyboard, mouse |
| 13 |
video: ati, mga |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Reasonably popular drivers that need a maintainer: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
evdev input driver |
| 18 |
vmmouse input driver (For X inside VMWare) |
| 19 |
fbdev |
| 20 |
i810 (a.k.a. Intel) |
| 21 |
newport (MIPS people, take note) |
| 22 |
nv (Nvidia) |
| 23 |

tdfx |
| 26 |
via |
| 27 |
vmware (For X inside VMWare) |
| 28 |
voodoo |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Also, all the other drivers with the exception of keyboard/mouse and |
| 31 |
ati/mga. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Who wants 'em? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Thanks, |
