Whether you or other people like it or not, OpenChrome development lags other more developed graphics device driver stacks by a huge margin. Effectively, I am the only person working on OpenChrome at this point (Frank is taking a break from the development.), and since the code itself has many problems, it takes tremendous amount of time to figure out why stuff goes wrong. In terms of the development roadmap, it is something like this. 1. Stablize OpenChrome UMS code - Fix screen resolution change bug (a regression that happened between Version 0.3.2 and 0.3.3) - Add external TMDS transmitter (VT1632A) support for DVI - Add dynamic IGA1 / IGA2 allocation within OpenChrome - Fix TV out support - Fix ACPI S3 State resume bug with several devices 2. Port OpenChrome UMS code to the newer DRM that supports KMS 3. Add DisplayPort and HDMI support to OpenChrome UMS code 4. Add 2D and video acceleration support when the newer DRM is used 5. Work on developing the 3D device driver stack Some of these items in the roadmap can be done in parallel with other items (i.e., 3D stack), but since I am the only one actively working on developing OpenChrome, inevitably, they will be done sequentially.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
