Once again I'd like to point out that user's purchase power means jack
when they only have two choices for video: ATI and Nvidia. You can't
walk into a computer store and find anything else (I don't count
integrated video on the motherboard as a solution, since only Intel
boards have it, sorry AMD users). Even over the web it's hard to find
anything else. I'm not trying to defend closed source here, but you
people just have to face the reality that trying to use the market to
get our way is just not going to work with video. The only way forward
is reverse engineering. We aren't going to get help from the vendors so
we have to help ourselves.
It sure looks that way.
Let's hope the rev-eng people do it the right way, by having one team
write a document, and a totally separate team write the driver from that
document.
