Developing video card drivers?

[wawrzon]

the idea of open gfx system has even been a subject of a poll here yet none has picked up the glove. myself as mediator user, im very interested in an alternative to the limited voodoo3 and broken and outdated w3d and have been looking on aros in respect of its gallium implementation. yet it seems we need the hidd drivers first. someone is porting aros back to 68k and writing apparently a simple hidd driver for aga, so not everything is lost. maybe later when aros already works aros hidd drivers can be portd over to openpci.

well, im too young to aros, so i never heard how aros implements that sort of stuff. 4 what i know openpci is the only one open solution available across amigoid systems let alone 68k. but i have never seen the api, nor know i to what standard it should compare. just yesterday i thought about mailing benjamin about the docs but on a second thought i it would be just wasting his time.
