Intel releases graphics programming manuals

Intel has been following a policy of releasing free drivers for its
hardware for some years now, but the company has been a little less
forthcoming with its documentation. That changed at linux.conf.au, where
Intel announced
the release of the manuals for
its 965 Express and G35 Express chipsets. “Containing over 1600
pages of text and figures, the Programmers Reference Manual includes
everything from low level register definitions and discussions on how each
functional hardware block works through descriptions about the hardware
architecture. Each documented feature includes a discussion on how the
hardware works and how the hardware designers expected the software to
operate.” The manuals are available under a Creative Commons license.
