Hi, |

I'm interested in donating hardware to the Gentoo-MIPS project; specifically |
5 |
a VPro/Odyssey V12 (128Mb) graphics board. Is there any demand at all for this? |
6 |
I mean, what hardware do the MIPS people currently have access to? |
7 |
|

The purpose of this is to (hopefully) try to speed up development of a |
9 |
3D-accelerated Xorg driver for these cards. I know Stanislaw Skowronek |
10 |
(aka. ``skylark'') is the IP30 port maintainer, and he did the console driver |
11 |
for the VPro, but I wanted to check if there are others involved as well, as he |
12 |
hasn't shown an interest in getting extra hw. |
13 |
|

|
15 |
btw., I've also got a complete Octane2 (400Mhz R12k) system that I could give to |
16 |
an interested developer -- however, the reason for advertising mainly a |
17 |
graphics board is due to the (significant) cost (and risk) of shipping an |
18 |
entire system -- as it's centrally located on the western coast of Norway. ;-) |
19 |
Obviously, I could just ship the system module itself; for those who already |
20 |
have an Octane1 (Octane2's have an improved PSU also, but that shouldn't present |
21 |
a problem, I think.) |
22 |
|
23 |
Anyway, let me know if there is any real interest for this. |
