Gallium3D bounty delivers first release!

[deadwood]

I'm happy to annouce the first ALPHA release of Gallium3D bounty. The goal of the bounty is to implement hardware 3D acceleration in AROS by porting Mesa3D library and Gallium drivers for nVidia cards.

This release brings initial support for GeForce 5XXX, GeForce 6XXX and GeForce 7XXX card series.

It can be downloaded from here

For more information on installation and usage please see the README file.

Two short movies from one of the users showing foobilard and sdl-ball using hardware 3D acceleration:

So, when am I going to get G200 support?

This depends when the nouveau developers (authors of nVidia gallium3D driver) implement it. Right now I know that the driver has also support for GeForce 8XXX and GeForce 9XXX series (currently not working in AROS port)
