[ News ]

Schedule:

Saturday Feb 25th 2006
14.00: Highlights from the Santa Clara XDevConf.	The X Developers Conference this year is held at Sun's Santa Clara site (California, US) from February 8th through 10. A summary of the highlights and an explanation of the advancements will be given. Stuart Kreitman
15.00: Coordinate transform redirection for composited window environments.	Keith Packard
16.00: XGL, the current future of X.	Matthias Hopf
Sunday Feb 26th 2006
09.30: Automated Display Configuration in the Xorg Window System	Stuart Kreitman
10.30: X and modesetting, atrophy illustrated.	X had a rich and diverse modesetting history, but with the advent of 3D acceleration and DRI, modesetting suddenly received a lot less attention. Some examples of the resulting cruft are shown and some shortcomings examined. Current developments are explained and possible future directions are explored. Luc Verhaegen
11.30: Dtracing the Xorg server.	Jay Hobson
12.30: lunchtime
13.30: Reworking the PCI subsystem in X	The PCI subsystem is one of the pieces of X that are in urgent need of renovation. The majority of its code was developed in the early days of PCI and when X mostly supported x86 systems. Since then numerous systems with additional requirements have been introduced and the support provided by the operating systems has been greatly enhanced. Therefore it is time to redesign this entire subsystem. Some ideas behind this redesign are presented here. Egbert Eich
Towards open source 3D acceleration for nvidia cards	In this talk, steps towards an open source driver for 3D acceleration on nvidia graphics cards are detailed. Relevant hardware features found on nvidia cards are reviewed, and a quick overview of the DRI/DRM model for 3D acceleration is given. Reverse engineering techniques for these cards are shown, along with ongoing developments. Finally, future directions for this work are given. Stephane Marchesin
