Hi all,
Now that X is modular, we have the opportunity to do something really
cool -- let people who actually own the hardware maintain the drivers!
Almost all of the open-source drivers are currently maintained by
x11@gentoo.org (currently just me).
I need to lower my maintenance burden a bit, and it makes sense to do
this by handing off things I don't have hardware for anyway. I only use
these drivers:
input: keyboard, mouse
video: ati, mga
Reasonably popular drivers that need a maintainer:
evdev input driver
vmmouse input driver (For X inside VMWare)
fbdev
i810 (a.k.a. Intel)
newport (MIPS people, take note)
nv (Nvidia)
savage
sis
tdfx
via
vmware (For X inside VMWare)
voodoo
Also, all the other drivers with the exception of keyboard/mouse and
ati/mga.
Who wants 'em?
Thanks,
Donnie
