2003-03-20 : Monitor driver progress

The first DDC2 success reports are in. The monitor driver now seeks the highest refresh rate available. For now, only the Radeon driver has working DDC2, somehow the Matrox driver just doesn't want to work.

2003-01-17 : IRC meeting coming soon !

A new IRC meeting has been scheduled for Saturday February 1st, 2300 hours Amsterdam / 1700 hours Calgary time. Topics of discussion:

  • Bugs / shortcomings in the KGI core. KGI-0.9 is rather usable now. What is there left to fix before users can see how nice KGI is ?

    • Console ALT-F5 is linked to graphics ALTGR-F6
    • Accellerator deadlocks when switching console
    • When a console is closed, display the one that was mapped before. (If it still exists)
    • When a driver takes over a console, it should redraw.
  • Driver issues that affect other drivers too. Missing resources ?
  • This new homepage. Contributions please !
  • Snapshots / releases. Should we release some beta stuff already ?
  • AGP support. How to do it, where to start ?
  • SMP support. The Big Bug is gone, now we should have lockdown mechanisms.
