- Sorry, but I cannot stand this way your talking about this stuff
- anymore. You always tell people you did EVERYTHING about the XS3
- server. This is one of the greatest lies I ever heard ! Your S3 stuff
- is COMPLETLY based up the 8514/A server Kevin Martin did. The S3 chips
- are with the exception of ONE registers in the graphics engine
- IDETICAL to the 8514/A (at least with respect of what the 8514/A
- server actually uses). Hence all of the drawing code is from somebody
- else, whome you generally forget to name. Also the setup code putting
- the S3 into graphics mode is stolen for the X386 1.2 / Xfree server
- (which then again IS stock X11R5) where this code is for SVGAs.
-
- Hence please stop people make believe that you really did everything
- from scratch. I don't want to put you down, but make it clear for the
- people how things really took place (and in fact it took me only about
- ONE day to get a S3 server from a 8514/A server in our commercial
- stuff; just to bias people a little bit). If you want to do PD stuff,
- please give credit to the people who deserve it. And that's Kevin
- Martin, and not really you.
