Developing video card drivers?
« on: October 13, 2010, 11:47:48 PM »
Is there any available SDK for writing video card drivers?

Cybergraphx, P96, anything without reverse engineering or are we 68k users stuck with what we have?

Thanks

Is there still an official page for Cybergraphix?  I've looked and can't find it yet, but maybe I'm searching wrong.  My Google-Fu is normally very strong.

We desperately need some open source alternatives, maybe I'll look into porting the Aros version instead of writing drivers.

I'm on the Aros list and I've been paying attention to him too.

Once I get at least one expanded Amiga up to speed I hope to help on some of that as well.

Looking at the state of Amiga OpenPCI, I'm not sure that there is much to offer that Aros doesn't already have.  It might be better just to start using Aros implementations of these type of things directly.

All the documents, faq, drivers and files for CGFX 4 are available on CD from:
http://www.vesalia.de/e_cgx4.htm


Can anyone confirm that the driver SDK, not just the application SDK is on that CD?
