Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Charmaine Lee 1.3 Date of This Document: March 3, 2008 4. Technical Description This project is to deliver a SPARC Xorg ddx module for the the XVR-2500 graphics accelerator. The driver name for the XVR-2500 is kfb. The initial release will provide the basic functionality as is provided by the kfb Xsun ddx module. The same set of visuals will be supported, though 8-bit and 24-bit visuals will not be supported simultaneously. Rather, when Xorg is running with a 24-bit depth, only 24-bit visuals can be provided. Similarly, when Xorg is running with an 8-bit depth, only 8-bit visuals will be available.

If I felt like paperwork, I'd say a contract is needed, but it would just formally write down our existing behaviour of notifying the X/DDX teams mailing list (internally) when a new Xorg release with a different ABI version is planned to integrate, and making sure that the drivers delivered from outside the X consolidation are ready for that (before your driver, that's just the nVidia driver, and they already follow the community and prepare for ABI/API changes in their Linux, BSD & Solaris drivers). -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering From Eric.Sultan@sun.com Thu Mar 6 11:00:00 2008 Received: from newsunmail1brm.central.sun.com (newsunmail1brm.Central.Sun.COM [129.147.62.245]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m26J00mW029031 for ; Thu, 6 Mar 2008 11:00:00 -0800 (PST) Received: from nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (nwk-avmta-2.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.145.155.6]) by newsunmail1brm.central.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m26Ixvja055595; Thu, 6 Mar 2008 11:59:59 -0700 (MST) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0JXB0010DORX4W00@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com>; Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:59:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from brmea-mail-4.sun.com ([192.18.98.36]) by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0JXB00IOZORWUVA0@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com>; Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:59:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from fe-amer-10.sun.com ([192.18.109.80]) by brmea-mail-4.sun.com (8.13.6+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id m26IxuhQ023010; Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:59:56 +0000 (GMT) Received: from conversion-daemon.mail-amer.sun.com by mail-amer.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)) id <0JXB00E01OBWO200@mail-amer.sun.com> (original mail from Eric.Sultan@Sun.COM); Thu, 06 Mar 2008 11:59:56 -0700 (MST) Received: from [129.146.94.117] by mail-amer.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)) with ESMTPSA id <0JXB00LCBORJGN50@mail-amer.sun.com>; Thu, 06 Mar 2008 11:59:44 -0700 (MST) Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:59:43 -0800 From: Eric Sultan Subject: Re: kfb Xorg ddx module [PSARC/2008/180 Self Review] In-reply-to: <47D03526.20401@sun.com> Sender: Eric.Sultan@sun.com To: "Garrett D'Amore" Cc: Eric Sultan , psarc-ext@sun.com, Charmaine.Lee@sun.com, ron.bielaski@sun.com Reply-to: Eric.Sultan@sun.com Message-id: <47D03F1F.3020101@Sun.COM> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.2.0.264296 References: <200803060038.m260cqhc029646@thirdreef.sfbay.sun.com> <47D03526.20401@sun.com> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 (X11/20070622) Status: RO Content-Length: 2592 The XVR-2500 is supported on SPARC PCI-E platforms such as Ultra 45. -- Eric Garrett D'Amore wrote: > I'm not very familiar with the XVR-2500.

versions though.)

If I felt like paperwork, I'd say a contract is needed, but it would just
formally write down our existing behaviour of notifying the X/DDX teams
mailing list (internally) when a new Xorg release with a different ABI
version is planned to integrate, and making sure that the drivers delivered
from outside the X consolidation are ready for that (before your driver,
that's just the nVidia driver, and they already follow the community and
prepare for ABI/API changes in their Linux, BSD & Solaris drivers).
