Your own driver?! Well, such a job is a very hard and long one. Anyway, what OS you plan to support?

Hello to everyone at this forum.....I am really new at this and wish a good time to spend discussing

Probably the best place to start is by looking at some existing drivers. Not sure which GPU you are considering, but if you browse to http://cgit.freedesktop.org there are some projects there which could be good examples :

mesa/drm - kernel driver for all generations of ATI GPU

mesa/mesa - 3D driver for all generations up to 5xx, look in 6xx-rewrite branch for 6xx-7xx

xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati - display/2D driver for all generations of Radeon GPU

xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd - display/2D driver for 5xx and higher

Programming guides are available on amd.com (look for "Open GPU Documentation") or at http://www.x.org/docs/AMD
