Nope, it is this man.

Do you know what the difference is between these 2 people and Q is ?


They both have jobs, and don't live in their parents basement.

i'm a troll account of michael?

anyway i do not have a point about the ddx tropic to say.

also i think the new code will be usable in 6 months in ubuntu 11.10...

No, your pretty much a troll of epic proportions all on your own. In fact theres a romour going around you are the TrollKing.

This man may have a value time-saving product to sell you.

It's pretty strange not to use the same basis.
For doing matrix calculations in 2d space in a separate thing.

All you have to do is to put some elements zero and you can do 2d stuff with 3d oriented matrix calculation circuits.

Who knows, but surely Micheal wants to steal your job: jump to quick conclusions

Ok, but that's not what Michaeldarium told us

Linux guys too

For clarity, nobody is saying that there won't be a DDX. All we're talking about here is re-using the Gallium3D hardware layer code in the DDX for EXA acceleration etc... rather than writing different accel code from scratch.

This should have little to no impact on BSD, Solaris or other OS ports.

BSD

Nice to hear there will be no more DDX.

The BSD and Solaris guys disagrees.

Just to be clear I get it right: This time you try to use the 3d "engine" (mesa) to accelerate 2d (usually ddx)? Like the intel guys with glamor?

No, the 3d engine meant here is the *hardware* engine. Nothing to do with mesa or other software, but the actual silicon on the card. And all drivers use the 3d engine from the ddx, that's how EXA works (UXA or SNA in Intel's case). Glamor is yet another different thing.
