Description

We talk a lot about the value of free software drivers on Linux but what about bringing those same free software drivers to other platforms? Earlier this year, Faith successfully got RADV running on Windows on top of AMD's closed-source kernel driver. In this talk, Faith will go over the basics of the WDDM2 kernel API, how she went about reverse-engineering the AMD interfaces, and talk about what shipping a Mesa-based driver on Windows would actually look like.
