Actually, this should all be past-tense. Support for the new hardware was merged into the upstream X.org and Mesa projects about a month before the hardware became available. The earlier the code lands in the upstream projects, the earlier it can appear in distributions. Fedora Rawhide already includes drivers that support this new hardware. We're trying to get to the point where main OS distributions can be shipping support for our hardware when it is released. It's nice when support eventually appears for hardware, but making it possible for people to go get the newest hardware and have their favorite distribution 'just work' is what we are striving for. -- keith.packard@xxxxxxxxx
