but why didn't they make a Cybergraphics driver for Amithlon ???

Dunno, maybe cos Bernie had (better) contact withe the P96-team, or maybe code from the UAEGfx-driver could been reused ?

Several programs that use gfx card depend on Cybergraphics and not Picasso96 ...  :-?


Care to name a few ?
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

I believe Harald handled the contact with third parties initially, and yes, I suspect the UAEGfx-driver was used as a starting point during development.[/quote]

UAE-Linux started with P96 active when I just copied the Amithlon-Install into it's folder, so yes they must be rather close relatives.
