So just wondering what is the gallium3d for r600/700 cards... I know that I can use fglrx but I like to make things as simple and open source as possible... If I had any idea how to do graphics programming I would start to help out(I can code a small amount in c and a good amount c++), better question... where would be a good place to start on anything like that?

Do you realize that nhaehnle doesn't work for AMD and does all this for fun?
And by the way, it's not crippling if it's never been supported.
Sorry, I just am _really_ tired of seeing ridiculous comments and accusations like this.

Edit: When people say "support for version X", it means support for full version X. You can still have almost all of the extensions available and this will Just Work as long as the application doesn't hit the extensions that aren't supported.

It depends on the extension. Some extensions actually do things (draw, compress/decompress etc..) so performing only those extension calls in software is feasible, but many extensions change the way that other drawing operations are handled -- so all of the subsequent drawing operations would need to be done in software as well.
In those cases it might be better if the driver did not support the extension at all, or supported it and effectively ignored it.Test signature

You're claiming that bridgman crippled R500 support in the open source drivers? Tell me _when_ this happened. _When_ were they working perfectly for you?
I think Ubuntu 9.04 has a special fglrx that supports R500 though...
