Open Source Video Card

Hey Guys,

I found this on slashdot:

http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/28/018227&tid=137&tid=15
2&tid=104&tid=8

Evidently, a group is testing the waters for acceptance of an open spec
video card.  It seems that this kind of opportunity to inform the
specification and feature set does not come along very often.  I am posting
this so *someone* at y-windows can open and maintain a dialogue with these
folks (get free prototypes to test on?) and otherwise attempt to find a
union of goals points to work toward as y-windows develops.  I know you are
busy, but I think it would be a shame to pass on this kind of opportunity -
no matter what chances you calculate they have of succeeding.

Thanks for your time.

G. Gibson

what needs to be done?

what sorts of things need to be worked on?  what background
information (aside from knowledge of c/c++) is necessary?  i'm ready
to work on the project.

perhaps the first task i should try is troubleshooting my compile-time error...

Check the mailing list archives, and make sure the existing code builds 
and runs on your machine.  Knowing how to use TLA will help.

I'd fix your shift-key first.  It's difficult to code in a 
case-sensitive language if it doesn't work.  Plus the language elements 
{}()*&^%"!<>~+ and | are shifted keys on most keyboards.

Regards,

Phil

where can the mailing list archive be found?

  You must be kidding, right? Try this if nothing else helps:

Re: make error

Err, it's probably big M..

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Parse::ResDescent'

-m just includes the module
-M includes the module and imports the symbols...

That should do it :)
