A Bounty For Gallium3D On Haiku OS

That's true for all things. But you think that's no reason to acknowledge their contributions. Says a lot about your bias.


With primary contributions and initial design coming from Linux developers.


It's also not really hard to see yours.


Honest is one thing you're definitely not.

Enough said. You've made your point.

Mesa was a fall back software library that was again portable.

your confusing who may have worked on it " like linux developers" with there are lot of other developers as well that the linux developers emulated or reverse engineered.

All ideas flow to the best form possiable over time.

Same reason most modern cars look similar, theres a certain aerodynamic envelope thats viable for fuel efficiency.

So how many of those linux developers applied knowledge they learned somewhere else or even may have been paid to code for another project.

truthfully linux is made from table scraps. All the best developers are generally working at large corporations getting big fat checks. Linux is the left overs and its built on borrowed and deprecated technologys.

So take what you will but linux really doesn't innovate, it emulates. the kernel itself was driven by the desire to have a free version of unix.

Thats reality.

Haiku developers don't get one thing: In order to get fine hardware support, they need to port these components:
- Linux kernel DRM (direct rendering manager)
- Mesa & Gallium3D
- some drivers need libdrm

Gallium3D hardware drivers are currently dependent on kernel DRM (as are any other Mesa drivers which need KMS) and I think Haiku developers have no chances to get hardware acceleration without it. They have to port everything.

And then they would probably need a full-time developer to maintain that beast.

LOL. This from the Haiku guy. Does it seem to anyone else that a lot of trolls have popped up on Phoronix over the last few weeks, or is it just me?

Hold your horses, Mr. BeOS-emulator who now also wants to borrow Gallium and is already borrowing deprecated technologies like Mesa. Oh, and a lot of deprecated GNU toolchain (GCC, command-line tools).

Here's an idea: Rename Haiku to GNU/BeOS and you have a good description of this "innovative" OS.

@marek I don't know why you think they don't understand those points... from what I gather they do understand this and its part of the reason the port hasn't happened.

yeah there are alot of pro linux screw everything else trolls here at phronix.

Wow, how original, the original BEOS was built on gcc 2.9. . Haiku is BEOS compatable and reimplements the beapi.

Again your assumptions are inccorect.

[Thatguy]

wow mesa was developed as a open source renderer for Opengl 1.0

I know he is an obvious anti-linux troll. He has been spouting endless lies regarding Linux over at Haiku's official forums aswell. But as a huge Haiku fan, PLEASE don't let this moron cloud your views on Haiku. Sadly his comments manages to drag Haiku in the mud with them.
