How does AROS and RTG relate?
Enquiring minds want to now.

CyberGraphics.library under AROS is supposed to be somewhat if not fully compatible with GyberGraphX3.  If it is already set to support Gallium drivers for modern hardware then I'm all for it.  Gallium looks like a plausible solution.

If we need backward compatibility in hardware, FPGA-based solutions will make the grade whether we're talking about Natami or some future solution based on MiniMig's cores.  In order to make drivers for them, we won't be able to depend on the MorphOS team or OS 4 team to backport their APIs to OS 3.x or AROS.  We need something new.

As a developer, I support the open-source solution so if one developer gets fed up with it someone else can take over without having to beg, borrow or steal the other person's code.  That's what open-source is all about whether we're talking about the AROS Public License or LGPL.

I voted YES!
