Avivo R500 Driver Changes

[Michael]

Is there anything I can do to help the development of this driver?

I can program in C, but I'm afraid I've never written a driver for anything before and have no idea how to reverse engineer a graphics card.

I can test it, which I will do shortly (I have an x1600) and see if I have problems, but is there anything else I can do?

You can make sure other Linux users are aware of this driver as an alternative to fglrx, report any bugs found in the driver, and with your C experience there's a chance you might be of use working on avivotool (the program associated with the driver), but that would just be a guess.

For specific areas you can help with, ask Jerome Glisse. His email address can be found on this page @ http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=avi...ca4dd15e24c8f6 or you can send him a private message on the Phoronix Forums @ http://www.phoronix.com/forums/member.php?u=3054

avivo from git has 5 new paches but I don't know exactly what they really change. But I think version 0.1 is coming really soon now.

they are to debug a problem; and attempt to fix why it doesn't work for somebody who reported back with that problem.

relating to i2c bus not being initialized correctly.

should make the eventual release more stable...

I hope we are not pressuring the developers too much by dissecting every git commit.
It will be done when it's done. I do however want it, gimme gimme gimme =D

[chrisr]

I didn't...

How did you change the resolution? I tried adding modelines, xrandr to change and some more. It always crashes X for me.

DDC configured the X server's resolution correctly automatically.

yoshi, Avivo can't do 3D, video acceleration, AIGLX and has some bugs. Also, they are working for some months now on it. But on the other side it has great 2D acceleration and RandR 1.2 Support.

i know.

but 2d acceleration isn't there yet, is it?

Btw. who cares if he releases 0.1, at this state of the driver everyone will most likely get the newest version from git. But in some months releases are important, so for example Fedora 8 can install the avivo driver by default as an option.
