Pretty spiffy! Don't suppose this means the advent of compositing window management on AROS?

Nope it means Jason is working on mesa and gallium for classics :)

Edit: Forgot to mention this should also put the Geforce 5200 PCI + Mediator I sent him to use eventually. :)

You'll notice in the background the gallium.hidd and softpipe.hidd he's messing with.   So once PCI is properly supported yep we should see nouveau support coming. :)

Very exciting, this could give us another 20 years with our trusty Amiga's.

Can someone please explain the significance of this to me? I don't really understand-it's a 3d API? Are classics capable of much in the way of 3d?

Nice.
What pci system is it using? Openpci would be lovely, and makes the most sense, but if I recall AROS uses prometheus? Is anything changing here for 68k?

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

the demo reall doesnt show it since its not gl based, but mesa is confirmed working. more to come i think.
as for pci there is a discussion but no consensus as to how it has to be done. openpci has been rejected as far as i understand, prometheus is an option. i dont know how this is going to be handled yet. nevertheless jason should have working mediator machine soon, so we will not wait long i bet.

Shame. No amithlon support then for hardware rendering and software rendering we (amithlon) already have.
I was hoping this'd bring something new for me.

Oh well, nice for those with supported hardware. I assume it'll just be one pci expansion then?

@Paulie85

To over simplify things, gallium is the at the driver level and mesa is the software/api level (basically an opengl implementation).
