Why isn't this updated? #1

Might be a bit rude to ask (probably some good reason for) but why isn't the Gallium3D driver updated for Tegra?

Gnurou commented 8 years ago

This driver is for older Tegra chips (Tegra 2 to 4), which is probably why it is not getting much love. Tegra K1 and Tegra X1 are supported (or in the process of being supported) in Mesa.

Well, what happened was that @thierryreding (who was the driving force on the the gallium-driver effort) got hired by NVIDIA, which resulted in him not being legally allowed (nor have the time) to work on this.

I've been playing around a bit more with the reverse-engineering, but not on the mesa-driver.

If you want to help out to get things moving, that'd be nice.

NVIDIA keep secret the 3d part of GPU. So we need to understand how HW works first to be able to do anything useful on mesa side, thats turned out to be not that easy and quite time consumptive. However still moving.
