Another Overview Of Gallium3D

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 27, 2008

For those interested in some additional weekend reading, Jose Fonseca of Tungsten Graphics has written an introduction on Gallium3D, their newest project that has been receiving a lot of interest by X.Org graphics driver developers. Jose goes over the Gallium3D modules (the state tracker, pipe driver, winsys, and auxillar modules), the dependencies for each module, the interfaces for Gallium3D, and last but not least is a visual representation of the data-flow. There is also other Gallium3D information at Phoronix such as the Q1'08 status update from FOSDEM. This Gallium3D overview can be read here.
