Topics for beginners

Hi Subrat,

well finding topics for beginners on the graphics stack are usually not 
an easy task because it is a rather complicated piece of software.

I suggest to just start with setting up a build and test environment and 
start to run piglit (our testing suite) on a fully self compiled stack 
(kernel, libdrm, ddx, mesa).

If you find any bugs while doing this (and there still are a couple I 
guess) you can start to narrow those down.

Additional to that is there any particular area you are interested in? 
E.g. kernel development, video codecs or frontend stuff (OpenGL, OpenCL)?

Regards,
Christian.
