ATI R600/R700 Gallium3D Winsys Published


,----[ Quote ]
| Jerome Glisse, a long-time open-source ATI 
| driver developer who now works for Red Hat, has 
| shared that he's finished up cleaning the 
| initial R600/700 winsys API for which the 
| R600/700 Gallium3D driver will be based. Once 
| it is all cleaned up and ready, it will be 
| hooked up into the Gallium3D pipe driver for 
| the ATI Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series 
| hardware. In the context of Gallium3D, the 
| winsys binds the state tracker and pipe driver 
| together with the underlying software stack on 
| the operating system.

R600/700 Mesa Driver Picks Up Blit Support

,----[ Quote ]
| While a blitter module was introduced for
| Gallium3D that uses the 3D engine for
| blitting, this doesn't help those without blit
| support that are still running the "classic"
| Mesa driver stack. Over the night, however,
| blit support has arrived for the ATI R600/700
| Mesa driver. This support arrived in the form
| of three commits (1, 2, 3) that increase the
| driver's code-base by around 2,000 lines of
| code.
