Gallium3D Feature Levels Plotted, Discussed
,----[ Quote ]
| The last time we talked about Gallium3D work
| being done by Zack Rusin was just before the
| holidays when he was hacking on new geometry
| shader support. Zack's latest work on Gallium3D
| though is for defining "feature levels" that
| provides a table for what features can be
| supported by a given driver / graphics
| processor.

New EGL Gallium3D State Tracker Pushed
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest work by Chia-I Wu is a new EGL
| driver / state tracker (named "egl_g3d") that
| has just been pushed into Mesa. For those
| unfamiliar with EGL, as described by the
| Khronos Group, "EGL is an interface between
| Khronos rendering APIs such as OpenGL ES or
| OpenVG and the underlying native platform
| window system."

Pulled: DRI 2.2 Protocol Requests, Swap Events
,----[ Quote ]
| The other part of this work is the new protocol
| requests for DRI2 2.2 and they include
| DRI2SwapBuffers, DRI2GetMSC, DRI2WaitMSC,
| DRI2WaitSBC and DRI2SwapInterval. These
| requests are used for supporting the
| SGI_video_sync, SGI_swap_interval, and
| OML_sync_control GLX extensions. It was back in
| October that we originally talked about these
| DRI2 sync and swap extensions.

ATI R300 Gallium3D DRI Support Is "Done"
,----[ Quote ]
| A month ago we shared that the Gallium3D
| driver for the ATI R300/400/500 graphics
| cards (up through the Radeon X1000 series)
| was mostly done. Now today, the key author
| of the R300 Gallium3D driver, Corbin
| Simpson, has updated the status wiki to
| reflect the latest changes. The key change?
| The DRI state tracker report is no longer
| "mostly" implemented, but now it's "done"
| according to Corbin.

VDPAU + OpenGL 3.0 On Gallium3D This Summer?
,----[ Quote
| This is the fourth year that the X.Org project will be participating in
| Google's Summer of Code project. In the past we have seen work like Generic
| Gallium3D Video Decoding using a graphics card's shaders to assist in video
| decoding no matter the hardware vendor. This year there are a few interesting
| possibilities.

Gallium3D: a short explanation where it fits in
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently Gallium3D is not production ready yet. Early 2008 the state was
| that the first real world driver, an older Intel one, was working quite well.
| It might take a while until Gallium3D really enters the stage.
