I doubt anyone on this list would plot to make a video card that
wouldn't work with BSD.
Windows 8 maybe, because well, that is an abomination.
I thank God this Xmas for such an abomination under the Xmas tree of
fate as Microsoft has really ticked off its game developers with the
whole Windows 8 "I wanna be Apple" so stick 'em up and give me a cut of
the action.
More 3D games for Linux means bigger demand for decent graphics.
Who knows, maybe the list is looking at things a bit wrong.
Maybe someone should write a letter to Steam and say:
Dear Steam,
Given how Microsoft is trying to screw everyone this Xmas with
Windows 8, and seeing you had such bad luck with the Video blobs from
vendors, but good luck with the open source stuff...really only one
thing is missing.
An open source card, which, you have a vested interested in helping fund
or develop with the community.
If you please put on your Steam page a percentage of how much of the
profits for the Linux games goes to a Chip Foundry fund so you and the
community can get Graphics hardware with 3D capabilities that are
decent, we would wuv you.
Together you can build great games, and we can build the awesome
graphics hardware to run it on.
Together we could all make colorful and beautiful polygons at blazing
speeds, in an open source harmony.
With Wuv,
The Open Source/Open-Graphics List community.

Agreed. Functionality > dreams.
Personally, I have a strong interest in making sure that whatever is
decided to work on, works on FreeBSD and would be willing to help with
that effort.
By the way, Displayport 1.2+ is gaining traction as well and it
is royalty free.
