Pretty spiffy! Don't suppose this means the advent of compositing window management on AROS?

Nope it means Jason is working on mesa and gallium for classics

Edit: Forgot to mention this should also put the Geforce 5200 PCI + Mediator I sent him to use eventually.

You'll notice in the background the gallium.hidd and softpipe.hidd he's messing with. So once PCI is properly supported yep we should see nouveau support coming.

Can someone please explain the significance of this to me? I don't really understand-it's a 3d API? Are classics capable of much in the way of 3d?

Nice.
What pci system is it using? Openpci would be lovely, and makes the most sense, but if I recall AROS uses prometheus? Is anything changing here for 68k?

the demo reall doesnt show it since its not gl based, but mesa is confirmed working. more to come i think.
as for pci there is a discussion but no consensus as to how it has to be done. openpci has been rejected as far as i understand, prometheus is an option. i dont know how this is going to be handled yet. nevertheless jason should have working mediator machine soon, so we will not wait long i bet.

Shame. No amithlon support then for hardware rendering and software rendering we (amithlon) already have.
I was hoping this'd bring something new for me.

Oh well, nice for those with supported hardware. I assume it'll just be one pci expansion then?

@Paulie85

To over simplify things, gallium is the at the driver level and mesa is the software/api level (basically an opengl implementation).
