You're probably thinking of the rivatv project, also on sourceforge. I'd be surprised if the open nv driver did DMA. > Of course, what's really needed is the equivalent of glxtest for NVidia and > somebody with NVidia hardware who has a few weeks to spare for long nights > of puzzling over register dumps :) The utah driver isn't totally impenetrable. While the register values are all given as magic numbers, the function names are readable at least. Also, as the closed nvidia driver does not use the DRM, glxtest would be of no use. - ajax > cu, > Nicolai
