Open Graphics card schematic released!

[mark at usefree.org]

Hi, 
 
The Open Graphics project
(http://www.OpenGraphics.org) has released the
schematic for their first card, which will have
completely published specifications so that X.org and
Linux developers can write open source drivers that
make full use of the card's capabilities. The
schematic of the card can be found at:

and the release announcement can be found at:

The Open Graphics project promises to break the
dependency on closed-source, binary-only drivers by
enabling consumers to buy graphics hardware that is
fully-supported by open source drivers. The card will
have a full OpenGL implementation, allowing it (at
least in theory) to render the advanced visual effects
possible with XGL, AIGLX, and Xegl. 
 
The Open Graphics project was started in the fall of
2004 (http://kerneltrap.org/node/4033), and the
realease of this hardware schematic is the culmination
of the tremendous progress that has been made since
then. If you can help with the circuit design or if
you'd like to offer any suggestions/guidance, please
feel free to join the Open Graphics mailinglist [2]
and share your thoughts:
