Yes, but if anything, the situation is even worse in the embedded market. In the general computing world, the vendor has to worry about both OEM sales and retail sales. In the embedded world, you ONLY have OEM sales. You cannot go out and buy an Imageon 100 add-in card for your Zaurus, so there is even less incentive for the chip vendor to provide any public support. Their consumer is the OEM. If the OEM is happy, ATI is happy. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
