Sourceforge project documenting R300 engine
After our recent linux article written by Kombatant, we recieved an email from Matt with the following information.
This SourceForge project is documenting the ATI R300 engine, with the intent of writing drivers for X/OpenGL, etc. (The R300 chipset is used in the Radeon 9500, 9700 and M10 mobility series cards.) The drivers are currently in the alpha or pre-alpha stage (they are not suitable for widespread use and distribution). However, the team is making significant progress: "Quake3 should now be playable, albeit with some zbias-related artifacts that show up in some levels." http://r300.sf.net/ |
