You obviously got all this completely wrong. I avoid writing closed source drivers whenever I can, I'm not whining and I'm not trying to push any of them. The code VIA is trying to submit has not been written by me nor anybody I know. All VIA code I and the companies I've worked for has written is open-sourced and contributed to the Openchrome / mesa / drm project. The point I'm trying to make is the following: If the common agreement of the linux community is to *NOT* allow these drivers in, so be it, then be honest and go ahead and tell the driver writers. Don't make them respin their development trying to fix minor flaws when their driver won't get in anyway! /Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
