When will the driver for card XXX be ready?

Posted by: Frank


Often development is taking place on drivers for newly released hardware. A current example of this is the ATI Radeon. It is the DRI Project's policy to not pre-announce release timeframes for such drivers, and thus we will not be able to answer questions like "when will the Radeon driver be released?" or "where can I get the Radeon DRI driver?". When drivers are first released an announcement will be made on the dri-announce mailing list, so if you are interested in finding out when new drivers are available you should subscribe to this list. You can also track the development of new (indeed, all) drivers on the dri-devel list, but all questions regarding their release will be, at best, politely ignored. "

Hy,

anyway NVidia is not member of the original founder
and seems also not be support this work.
Will there be a DRI driver available in future for
NVidia cards ?

Rex(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Any support for RageFuryMax?

Frank Worsley(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

At this time there is no Rage Fury Maxx support.

As for NVidia DRI drivers it all depends on NVidia releasing the specs for their cards. Stay tuned, it may happen in the future.

Gareth Hughes(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

The Rage 128 specs are available from ATI. If someone really wanted Rage Fury MAXX support, they could always go ahead and start working on it. However, I think there are tasks that are more important and any potential developers should target these first.

Sahab Yazdani(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

How about the ATI Rage Pro family of video cards??? ATI has the specs for these available AND there is already OpenGL implementations available for XFree86 3.3.x using the Utah GLX drivers. so it shouldn't be tath hard to port should it???

Frank C. Earl(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Well, several people have taken up the charge to get the support on DRI for RagePRO.

It's in progress (Well, it's been in progress off and on for quite a while now, but Gareth Hughes, the gentleman responsible for a goodly portion of the Utah-GLX support for that same chip, has been extremely busy since he's hired on with VA. He's not had the time needed to spend getting it working right on the new infrastructure. Frankly speaking (no pun intended), I'd rather he be doing what he's been doing and let some "novices" to DRI get up to speed mucking with the older tech in this chip...) and hopefully there will be something to properly show for ourselves in a couple of weeks.

Frank Earl(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Gareth, you mention other tasks for developers than supporting the Rage Fury MAXX... Can we get something on the site (even if it's on this discussion topic) listing some of the needed work areas?

Frank Worsley(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Gareth and the other developers are working on a DRI Developer's Guide that will answer such questions.
Until it's ready your best bet is to subscribe to dri-devel and read what's being discussed there.

Will the ATI Mobility 128 (M3 & M4) require specific support, or can it function with accellerated ATI Rage 128 Pro support (Since it is based on a modified Rage 128 Pro chipset)? It runs Quake3 Arena like a dream under Windows & I can't wait to see it supported under Linux...

will there be support for the VideoExcel i740 card?

motown(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Hello.

Regarding 3dfx support, I read the following disappointing line:

"SLI is not supported and most likely never will be."

I assume that applies to the Voodoo5 5500 and Voodoo6 cards, which are based on more than one VSA100 chip, operating together in socalled SLI mode.

What I don't understand: the DRI project HAS enough programming specifications to develop a DRI driver which uses 1 VSA100 chip. Why is it so much more difficult to develop a DRI driver which uses both VSA100 chips on a Voodoo5 card, if both chips are the same and have the same programming specs?

The point is that I just can't stand seeing the Voodoo5 only being utilised to about half of it's capabilities, while we're only missing a small piece of the puzzle: enabling SLI mode itself. The VSA100 chip in itself is no secret anymore to the DRI developers, right?

NagyZ(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Hi!

Are you planning to make a driver for voodoo2 ?
I havent found any docs for voodoo2 + xf4 (or 3...)

Thnx:

Frank Worsley(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Regarding Rage Pro support, please see the status page.

For the person asking about 3dfx SLI support -- no, it is not hard to work on that, BUT we just don't have enough time. If anybody else is interested in doing it then please volunteer. Any help is greatly needed/appreciated.

newbie(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

ok -- i, too, am an ati rage pro user and still can't get accelerated graphics working on my system. this disturbs me greatly as i'm a new linux user myself and cannot get the full linux experience without the graphic support that [should] come with it. on that note, the status page says that you are looking for people to work on mach64 support and that it's "good beginner work." as a real real beginner unfamiliar with programming for the linux platform (or whatever kind of work this entails), as much as i'd like to contribute, i guess i can't. but if it's "beginner" work, won't it take an advanced programmer like 10 minutes or something to do? can't someone help us out here? thank you for your time and i look forward to hearing from you with wonderful news. :)

DRI-rules(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

I'd just like to start by saying KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. :)

I've noticed several requests for Rage Pro support. I too would love to see this supported by the project. I, unfortunately, do not have enough time to dedicate to make this a reality. :( The status page indicates no one is currently working on Rage Pro support. Based on what I read from the status page it should be a relatively simple task (for a person familiar with the project). Would it be possible at all to somehow motivate one of the current developers to work on this? :)

Jack Lloyd(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone was working on support for the G550. I heard Matrox had given out Linux drivers of some sort, but no details on that. I can't imagine it's that different than the 450, and Matrox has always been good about Linux drivers, so... just curious.

If nobody is working on them or planning on working on them, maybe there is someone I can contact to discuss (maybe) doing the drivers myself? I don't know much about graphics hardware but I'm pretty good with C and bit-bashing stuff. And, hey, we use the 450 at work; maybe I can convice my boss to pay me for doing it.

Is there any support for the PCI version of the ATI Radeon 32MB SDRAM card? XFree86 4.1.0 works just fine, but direct rendering won't work. Is this because I don't know how to enable it or do PCI cards not work with DRI?

I'm a little confused -- Is the Rage LT Pro (found in many laptops, like my Pro-Star 9870) the same as the generic Rage Pro? I've heard that there's Rage Pro support, but not Rage LT Pro, and was wondering what differences there are in the chipset. Since the LT Pro has been phased out in favor of the Mobility, will the Mobility driver work?

Please respond via e-mail if you know; I won't have steady Web access for a while.

Thanks,

Sethapocalypse(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

I'm just wondering why the developers are skipping the ATI M1 in favor of the M3 - it's not that hard for some competent programmer to go out there to finish the work if they can do the same with the M3 Rage128 series.

Jeff(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

Just to plead with the others. There are millions of distributed ati rage pro (mobility etc) chips out there. It would be great if there was a dri driver for this chip. When commenting that a beginner could do this work, remember that a real beginner would not have even the vaguest clue.
Can we not organise a whip round for cash as a bribe. I would even be prepared to put ten pounds sterling in myself. That could be a lot of cash for the open source movement (or the programmer involved).

The first one is based on the Rage Pro and the latter one is

Hello,

I have a Sony Vaio F12K with an ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) graphics chip. I tried the r128 driver for XFree 4.10. It didn't start, so I think this Graphic Chip is not based on the r128, isn't it? How can I found out? Is it Mach64 based? How can I found out? I use the standard ati driver? How can I get that chip working with dri?

Regarding all the Rage Fury Maxx questions - I have been using the card in single chip mode for months now with the r128 driver and dri mode. Unfortunately any GL apps, screensavers, etc, bomb the system immediately, causing a lockup with the only way out being a reboot. 2D stuff runs fine tho.

i posted here a long time ago asking for help. i emailed developers asking questions, but they were always busy and the project for ATI support has seemed indefinitely postponed.

so i decided, as i hope you all do, to recognize that these developers are busy with personal issues, and perhaps if you want accelerated graphics, you shouldn't have to wait as long as i did (8 months) for them. i decided to buy a new video card, and i'm much happier with the results.

Lots of people here are confused by the ATI Rage Pro...

The Rage Pro LT/XL/AIW and Mobility M/M1/P/C, etc.. (there are a few more I can't think of..) are all the same and are all based on the Rage Pro chipset. However, the Mobility varients have differences in their memory and also have some added motion compensation features. The All In Wonder (AIW) has TV-In and some other stuff..

In a nutshell, the Rage Pro is an old chipset (~1998) that is still being put into many new notebooks and servers...and as you can see, there are many flavors of this card.

Just to note, the Mobility M3/128/M6/M7 and Rage Pro Fury are based on the Rage 128--a completely different chipset.

Also, the Rage Pro does have "acceleration" as someone pointed out, but no "3D acceleration" under XF86 3/4..

Anymore questions...goto rage3d.com and to the Rage Pro forum. I go under the alias 'masta g'.

My question is about DRI support for the R8500 series (LE, DV, and base 8500). In what way is DRI support for this different (or harder) than the R7500 (which is based directly on the existing DRI Radeon driver). The reason why I am asking is I am wondering if it could be possible to attack this from a *known feature* standpoint (or even start with r7500 features known to be usable on the R8500 and work from there).

If someone could tell us punters what makes the 8500 that much more difficult than the 7500 to write an OpenGL implementation for, we'd all be quiet for a while :)

Seems a shame that an otherwise great card has to be stunted in the linux world - XFree86's popularity could really do with shining support for the newer cards right now.

I thoroughly respect the work that is put into DRI, however it would just make the wait far, far easier if we were told that yes, people were looking into it, and no it's not as simple as the 7500... if that's the case :)

Christopher L. Estep(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

For *all* R8500 owners...good news!

You can now get your DRI working with a *free download* from ATI. It's a DRI driver for the *FireGL* 8x00 series of professional workstation cards, but it works just as well with the 8500 (even the 8500DV). There's a form you have to fill out, but it's real, it works...and it's F-R-E-E.

I will be interested in the current status of the S3 Savage driver. I own a SuperSavage IX thate come with my new IBM thinkpad and i would like to have a driver capable to run some opengl apps (blender) and games.
If i can get enough info i will try to develop and contribute to the DRI S3 Savage drivers.
Thanks and excuse my english.

Hi, yet ANOTHER vote online for the S3 Savage4!

This chip is a good budget 3D chip under cheaper
Winblows systems, but I've opted for Mandrake/KDE
rather than the aforementioned kludge.

Has S3 ever released enough docs on the Savage4 to
make it feasible for opensource driver dev?

Any hope for support R250/300 chipsets in future?

I have a ATI Radeon 9000 PCI, broughtit under the impression ATI Radeons were well supported under linux, only to find I brought a card which is not.

Any info on being able to use this card for accelorated graphics would help, or even a time line on driver release.

Can anyone tell me what an ATI RS200M is? I'm guessing it's some type of Radeon (Mobility?). And, if so, what drivers would it need?

Hi i have an stupid laptop, and it has an ATI Radeon 340M chip.. but is there any driver on the net that work on Mandrake 9.0 or SuSe 8.1? ok greetzz to all of you guys!

A couple of people have asked about the Matrox Millennium G550. Matrox has announces release of Beta 2.1 drivers for this card, as of Jan 30, 2003. Info is at
http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/latest/home.cfm.

They also announced drivers for the Parhelia series back in November of 02. The "Parhelia" seems like a major tool to me, with support for three displays in one desktop - think of it as 3840x1024x32bpp - don't know if that's supported in the Linux driver. See also the cool demos of "Surround Gaming".

I vote for ProSavage support. It's based on Savage4 and should have same internals while is used in many modern Pc's as integrated video

Hi
I was wondering if it would possible for you guys to consider
extending support to KYRO chip set. There is a linux driver for older
kernels and the source is posted as well.
here's the link

Will there be an Oxygen GMX DRI port on alpha?

Well, seems that a lot of people here are new to linux. Anyway it's a normal thing since one of the things you complain with you first install linyx is why arem't those poligons flying as lihgt on my screen, etc.

To rad 9000 owners, it's just a 7500 with new name, so it's just a litle time to tell the drivers what the hell the new thing is and use it.

The 8500 and later have no GPL drivers for it, but propietary from ATi. Send them letters concerning about this and the benefits of integration in the sistem, etc. Future kernels will be not so permisive with propietari modules...

The reason for "old crappy 3d-unacelerator chipsets support" is that simply the specs had been made public by their manufacturers(A MUST for development of drivers) and the use in lot of laptops, and the use in low-end servers/workstations that populate the corporate and coders desktops.

Better than posting here, write to your card manufacturer complaining about linux support for your card. I do. And I expect Ati, sometime, contribute the code. That's my reason for avoid nvidia cards. Will be a stupid hope?

Anyway, if they want to have the edge over the other, better start hearing linux users.

Savage support would be cool.. ;)

dragoth.net - kyro 1 || 2(remove S_P_A_M_ to send an email)

One more vote for the poor Kyro. :(

Ah well, at least I didn't spend $300 on it. (I feel bad for Voodoo5 owners)
