| From: g <geleem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | intel sucks on anything but ms, because intel joined the ms whore house | years ago along with many other oem suppliers because of their fear of | not being included in ms specs. I actually subscribe to your conspiracy theory. Having said that, there are levels of evil. Intel has been the most supportive of the major video controller makers historically. For example, Keith Packard is a long-time core X developer and Intel pays him for things that benefit X in general as well as the Intel X drivers. ATI (now AMD) was open with specs, to a very useful degree, until roughly 10 years ago. Then they closed up tight. A couple of years ago, they started to make a large effort opening up. That's still not complete. I don't know of anyone from ATI contributing to X in general the way Keith is doing. They are in a tough spot financially. nVidia is the laggard. On the other hand, many in the Linux community appreciate their well-maintained closed source Linux driver. I'm not one of them. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
