["Bridgman, John" <John.Bridgman@xxxxxxx>]

A few quick answers :

- 5xx is looking easier than 6xx, so probably 5xx will arrive first for
all the functions but there will be overlap, ie 6xx 2d might be
happening at the same time as 5xx 3d

- video acceleration will have to happen after 3d -- might be possible
to use ogl output but xv using 3d engine (different code from 3d
acceleration) is probably the best use of time

- sequence of events looks like :

1. 2d acceleration using mmio

2. 2d acceleration using cp and drm (allows 3d work to start)

3. 3d acceleration building on existing r300 mesa support

4. Video acceleration

My guess is that we'll see an offset of a month or so between 5xx and
6xx documentation, so development will probably happen with a similar
offset.

There are some problems with the current 300 mesa support but those
should be fixable once the 3d docs come out. 

The published schedule was "3d docs in 1Q08" and I think we're still on
track for that.
