You can get to these diagrams by going to the DRI webpage ->
Documentation -> Developer Documentation -> Insights Page.

There are a few other documents on the Insights Page that I didn't
bother duplicating on the DRI page. It might be a good idea to do this
now, since the Insights Page might not be around forever. Would that be
ok with VA Linux/Precision Insight regarding copyright issues?

This has been discussed before but nothing has come out of it yet. It is
a good idea and we had a fairly detailed discussion about it outside of
the list.

I don't think I will have time to get involved here. If you want to do
it, it's up to you or whoever else is interested. I will try and help
you out wherever I can.

I am not really too keen on doing much more work on the website. Web
design (or documentation) isn't really my favorite activity and I made
the site back then to contribute to the project in some way since I know
nothing about graphics or writing drivers. :)

Getting information is definitely a pretty big problem. Also, keep in
mind that once you make such a chart you will also have to keep it
updated.

Basically to start you should try and find out the features of the
different drivers and write them down. Afterwards we can figure out a
way to present that information on the website.
