Per chiarire per cosā c'e' documentazione e per cosa no questo č parte di un pst di uno degli sviluppatori del driver open

Quote:
Things we don't have documentation for:

- r128, r100, r200. Don't really need it, as we understand these really well, and the code for them is rather self-documenting.
- Power management. We have most of the AtomBIOS stuff for power management, and it's being tested out, but we don't actually have docs for it. We still know how to do it, though.
- UVD/UVD2. We will never see full UVD2 docs. Get used to it. UVD is another story, though; docs for that will show up at some point. Doesn't really matter, though, since we can use a shaderful state tracker (from Gallium) to do most of what these chips do.
- Context management. This ability just doesn't exist, so of course there's no docs on it.
- AES chip. Ditto.

Features that people bitch and moan about:

- 3D. We have all the docs for this.
- Power management. No docs, but we know how to do it anyway.
- Video. Done with Xv.

Oh, look at that, most of the missing features have nothing to do with documentation.
