what's the easiest way to write an OpenGL ICD for my PCI graphics card (the FireGL 4k), without any technical docs whatsoever?

Get the technical docs. :P

But if that doesn't work...

find drivers that you already have, i.e. win32 drivers, and make dosemu or similar "protected state" machine simulator run the driver in trace mode.

the x86 does have step and trace, doesn't it? :)

From there, RE on the linker in, out and DLL should be much more rewarding.

But again, the absolute easiest is to get the technical docs & a driver source code. Second is just to have them give you a working driver.

Fucking Diamond Multimedia. :P
