Hi all, Some useful links on understanding Xorg/DRM architecture: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/HowVideoCardsWork http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Radeon_25Architecture It would be awesome if this list could be used for us to teach each other about how to work on drivers. Does nouveau have anything like an equivalent of the basic "Radeon Architecture" page yet? Thanks! - Chris. -- Chris Ball <cjb@laptop.org>

Does nouveau have anything like > an equivalent of the basic "Radeon Architecture" page yet?We have a link up to the HowVideoCardsWork on the front page of the wiki and there is some work mooted on understanding video hardware from a beginners point of view (see IRC logs http://lattice.u-strasbg.fr/irclogs/nouveau-2007-05-04). It would be good to compliment this with information on "Nvidia Architecture", sounds like a research project? Regards, Mark Carey
