The long term plan is for a single OpenGL shared object that runs standalone, with DirectFB or under XFree/DRI. There is nothing technical stopping this, it just a matter of adjusting bunches of code. 3D drivers from DRI work in the embedded version with minor changes mostly having to do with removing GLX code from the drivers. 2D is a different story. Significant code needs to be adjusted for each driver. I am working on the Rage128 driver currently. Radeon and MGA are done. Nothing else has been started yet. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
