General Discussion / Re: I've got a reply from Mensys about SNAP source code xD
« on: June 03, 2014, 05:24:36 am »the source of SDD is not that necessary as it may seam
to add new card someone has to have tech docs for this card anyway
some time ago i tried to find such docs - they are not open
Depends on the card. I understand the Intel video cards (actually built into MBs generally) are open.

on the other hand the grad driver is not very complicated itself
having docs it is better to write a new driver (like pano R200) rather than
add cards to SDD
SDD has multi platform design which is obsolete in our case thus we can make
a driver in simpler way
use SDD source to rebuilt it to be SMP friendly - is not very good idea too - supported cards very old and almost nobody use them
I still find that SDD works much better then Panorama here on my older install where SMP is broken anyways. Colours are correct under SDL (perhaps a SDL bug) when using 32bit colour, monitor goes to sleep when the screensaver tells it to, by chance the MTRRs seem correct on both. SDD might still be easier to extend and some newer cards may be compatible with the older cards and just need enabling.
