I haven't seen a definite statement about this from nVidia or Sony or YDL (I searched the archives too). Here are my questions: 1) Will there ever be a way to access the video card directly? The drivers already exist, I think. We don't need anything crazy either, just some way to watch video in 1080P. So the open-source nvidia X driver may just work if the hardware was accessible. If nVidia or Sony give us a binary-only 2D-accelerated video driver, that's great. 2) If (1) is a no, how can we discuss the matter with the party or parties responsible for making that decision? 3) If (2) is a no go, let's find a way to get accelerated video working. I would really like to avoid jumping to (2) and (3). I think most Linux users would be happy with 2D video acceleration.
