3DLABS introduces Linux 2.6.21 developer kit

The kit provides a suite of development tools and production ready applications, CODECs and libraries bringing the latest open source innovations to developers and device makers using 3DLABS' DMS-02 processor. The SDK provides a suite of development tools and production ready applications, CODECs and libraries that take full advantage of the underlying features and performance of the DMS processor, including audio, video and imaging decoders and encoders, media player and framework, photo browser, 2D/3D libraries including OpenGL ES 1.1, DirectFB and support for GTK+, imaging and camera processing, and a GUI toolkit for user experiences.
