Is there any demand at all for this? I mean, what hardware do the MIPS people currently have access to? The purpose of this is to (hopefully) try to speed up development of a 3D-accelerated Xorg driver for these cards. I know Stanislaw Skowronek (aka. ``skylark'') is the IP30 port maintainer, and he did the console driver for the VPro, but I wanted to check if there are others involved as well, as he hasn't shown an interest in getting extra hw. btw., I've also got a complete Octane2 (400Mhz R12k) system that I could give to an interested developer -- however, the reason for advertising mainly a graphics board is due to the (significant) cost (and risk) of shipping an entire system -- as it's centrally located on the western coast of Norway. ;-) Obviously, I could just ship the system module itself; for those who already have an Octane1 (Octane2's have an improved PSU also, but that shouldn't present a problem, I think.) Anyway, let me know if there is any real interest for this. -- -=-=- Martin Andersen =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- EMail: martin.andersen@ieee.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=- Cellphone: +47 906 45 948 -=-=-=- http://www.ementor.no =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- gentoo-mips@gentoo.org mailing list
