Phoronix: Direct3D 10/11 Is Now Natively Implemented On Linux!

It's a pity Luca Barbieri or any Mesa / Gallium3D developers are not at Oktoberfest as they are deserving of more than a few MaÃ? of Augustiner. In fact, today a new Gallium3D state tracker was pushed into Mesa and it's perhaps the most interesting state tracker for this open-source graphics driver architecture yet. It's a state tracker that exposes Microsoft's DirectX 10/11 API on Linux! And it's already working and can be hooked into Wine!

Hi Michael

Would you be interested in setting up a bounty programme allowing us to donate to the developers that implement specific project features

I know I for one would donate to a vdpau state tracker

Bounty programs don't really work.

Bounty programs don't really work.

They might if it's developers setting targets and then people directing project resources by setting bounties for those targets. It would motivate developers to work on those things that aren't fun but they've scheduled to write when they have too much time too.

On a serious note, how is this possible? ... Physically and legally?
