Quite honestly if I started writing Verilog code I would kill the
project. The GPU would be a laughing stock, and probably work just as
well as AMD's or Nvidia's.
You don't want that do you? :-)
Now, once the card is done, and you want drivers for X or DRI kernel
work done that is a different story. I have 15 years dealing with LINUX
kernel issues, and making it work for business and industry.
Just to be clear, I sell and build engineering workstations for AT&T
contractors. I almost lost the business trying to do it with binary
blobs from AMD or Nvidia.
If it wasn't for the AMD/Mesa work I probably wouldn't have a company as
the first time I tried to use that binary garbage Nvidia and AMD was
pushing in a professional setting I got yelled and screamed at. I was
taking a huge risk by not using Windows for a 35 person work crew/office.
Thank god the AMD open source drivers had enough oompf to get the job
done and in a very stable environment. The possibilities of controlling
that much of the hardware and software in a graphics card I think would
revolutionize the Linux Desktop which is a ripe untapped market world
wide of incredible possibilities.
Quite frankly I am really puzzled given my own business why this hasn't
happened years ago?
But from my perspective an open hardware/open source graphics stack is
something my customers not only need, but I don't think the LINUX
desktop will be a reality until we get that GPU.

What do you guys think?
your dreams sound like an amazing idea,
now you just need to ...
get to work and code the GPU :-)
