Stopping work on EGL and Xgl
After discussing this with several people I have decided to stop working on EGL and Xgl. The recent work on EXA is going to have the side effect of pushing out any hope for an Xgl release by a year or more. By extending the 2D drivers to accelerate composite end user demand for Xgl will also be reduced. I have been donating my full-time effort to this project now for two years without pay. I can not justify devoting further time to this project without reasonable hope of it reaching completion. The basic problem is that only two people (myself and DaveR) are working on Xgl. Xgl is way too large for two people to finish. I have been trying without success for the last year to attract more people to work on Xgl. Xegl is at the demo stage on the r200. There are instructions in the wiki on how to run it. There are still large amounts of work to do to add memory management and FBOs to DRI. The Xegl server also need an input system and work done to integrate it into the modular tree. I haven't decided what to work on next but it will probably be related to HTML browsers. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com (Log in to post comments)
