What features are you lacking? There are a few that other groups within Intel protect as being proprietary that we would need to sink a huge investment of time into to reverse engineer (or simply develop an alternate). Knowing what features are desirable help us plan and allocate resources, so what is your priority list? -Chris [1] There *is* the IEGD binary driver. I'm not even sure if that is generally available or even compilable. Caveat lector. -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre
