Hello,

Well, I do have an nv03 too, and after taking a closer look at it, I don't
think it makes much sense to support it together with nv04+ chips. The
reason is that there are too many architectural differences between those
chips, so that you would end up with two separate drivers if you did. So in
short, we're not really interested in any dumps for that device, and are not
planning in adding support for it.

In case you or someone else is interested in adding 3D support for that
card, it's probably possible (and it's documented for the most part) but
IMO
it should be done together with nv01 support which is a closer design. Maybe
ajax will get bored and to that one day...

Hello,

I have a Nvidia Riva 128 ZX graphic card.
But renouveau need the nvidia proprietary driver to work
and there is no nvidia proprietary driver for Riva 128 or Riva 128 ZX.
How can I send you informations that can help you to write 
a free and open source driver for this nvidia graphic chip.

At http://users.tkk.fi/~jpakkane/ren/,
I found nothing for NV3.
But there is some information for NV1 and NV2.

I see on Internet that there is some 3D support for Riva128 in UtahGLX
http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/.

Thanks 

Yannick
