Yeah, the spec was posted to a few mailing lists and discussed there. At least livid-dev and xpert. I think this might be the latest spec: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-November/013012.html The header files for the current draft are distributed with X now. I don't know (but I believe) that the current i810 drivers in 4.2.0 support a version of the spec. The spec might be in the X CVS, xc/doc, but I don't think so yet... -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
