Hi,

we need volunteers who would help us making more drivers available in vidix.
The drivers should be ported from Xv or any other opensource codes.

If anyone's fearing from Vidix, we're going to make an api redesign, to
eleminate pitches and make the API more simplier. In the future we will
able to compile vidix drivers as (linux) kernelmodules too, if one likes
this method (as by old mga_vid drivers).

Why not Xv (+dri) ?
1, Becouse it's Xfree86 only! With our technologie
you don't need X at all.
2, Xv drivers uses memcpy's and incredible loops for conversion.
We don't need them as we have the nice colorspace conversion code,
mostly written by Michael.

Would you like to bring the revolution success? If yes, join us!

Thanks,
alex
