My work

I'm more or less responsible for Tadpole SPARCbook 3 hardware support in NetBSD. Right now we have drivers for pretty much all built-in hardware, the only missing pieces are ISDN ( which I can't do because I have no ISDN line here ) and audio input ( which I'll do when I can be arsed to do so ). Besides that I'm hacking XFree86 and X.org on not so mainstream hardware - wrote both kernel and XFree drivers for the SPARCbook, added hardware acceleration to a few others, did substantial bugfixes / improvements to the sunffb driver, made it work at all on sparc64 and on many more chips on macppc ( like Voodoo3 ). On macppc I did some major improvements regarding Old World hardware, wrote a few drivers ( mainly system monitoring / fan controller chips and graphics controllers) and general improvements ( like adding some more controls to the snapper audio driver ). Now I'm also NetBSD/macppc portmaster.
