Is there any kind of information (doc page, news item...) planned for |
| 31 |
explaining when it's better to switch to gallium3d and when not? For |
| 32 |
example, one of the systems I administrate has a r300 device, but I |
| 33 |
haven't followed at all gallium progress and, I guess, you cannot asume |
| 34 |
most of the people know about all this. Then, I think that, for example, |
| 35 |
a news item would be useful to know what drivers should we use. |

Thanks a lot |
