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 |

24 |

25 |
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, |
