Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with Mike when he said that, to paraphrase, "hundreds will not flock to code for DRM except for a stout few". I just meant that nobody is contributing to i810 development because it is a "dead-end" chipset for DRI. However, I still believe enough in open source that if Intel did not provide drivers for them, nor pay a coder to do it, someone in the multitude will.
